Daniel Cooper touched the letter of resignation in his pocket.
It was a luxurious Pan American 747, and Tracy was seated in Seat 4B on the aisle in first class. She was excited. In a few hours she would be with Jeff. They would be married in Brazil. No more capers, Tracy thought, but I won’t miss them. I know I won’t. Life will be thrilling enough just being Mrs. Jeff Stevens.
“Excuse me.”
Tracy looked up. A puffy, dissipated-looking middle-aged man was standing over her. He indicated the window seat. “That’s my seat, honey.”
Tracy twisted aside so he could get past her. As her skirt slid up, he eyed her legs appreciatively.
“Great day for a flight, huh?” There was a leer in his voice.
Tracy turned away. She had no interest in getting into a conversation with a fellow passenger. She had too much to think about. A whole new life. They would settle down somewhere and be model citizens. The ultrarespectable Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Stevens.
Her companion nudged her. “Since we’re gonna be seat mates on this flight, little lady, why don’t you and I get acquainted? My name is Maximilian Pierpont.”
