Chapter 94
If anyone knew about the shooting at the Continental, they hadn’t told the parking booth attendant. He was scrolling on his cell phone as Mei-ling drove up and took a ticket from the automated dispenser.
We parked in a spot and hurriedly got out.
I kept the Smith & Wesson but concealed it in my pants pocket.
The detonator was inside my jacket…
And I carried my suitcase with my left hand as we walked to the elevator and rode up to the ground floor.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
The people in the lobby were going calmly about their daily routines.
They were blissfully ignorant of the mess that had occurred just a few miles away –
And of the drama about to unfold here.
Thirty seconds later, Mei-ling and I were alone in an express elevator to the 70th floor.
I looked at her and saw both fear and wild abandon in her eyes.
At the same instant, we leaned forward and kissed passionately.
I pulled away first. “I love you.”
She smiled. “I love you, too.”
“Ready?”
She nodded.
The bell dinged, and the elevator door opened.
