Tainted Future (The Rememdium Series Book 3)

“Why? It’s what, maybe fifteen hundred miles from here? Denaryl can fly that standing on his head. I assume that’s where the little hot tamale is from?”
“Yep, and she made sure to mention the fact there aren’t any reactors near, and that her family’s got a big mansion for us to live in. All safe and snug.”
Kevin laughed. “And you aren’t buying it?”
Dirk grimaced. “Not even with someone else’s money. The only thing that woman’s got to offer us is an extra set of hands. Did she seem strong when helping you unload?”
“Not a clue. Haven’t seen her. And I disagree. There’s at least one other thing I can think of she’d be useful for.”
Dirk spun around, searching for Teresa. The rumble in his gut ignited into a flame. “Shit!”
Running at full speed, Dirk raced across the tarmac. Sensing something was wrong, Drake and the others followed. By the time Dirk reached the last few steps, his fears became a reality.
“Open that fucking door, Teresa. Right now!”
“Dirk? She’s got the drop on me. Back away from the door, and for God sakes, don’t try to storm inside here, or I’ll be missing a body part I don’t want to lose.”
“Fuck!” Dirk screamed.
“What’s goin’ on?” Kyle asked from the bottom of the stairs.
Dirk was so angry he was shaking. He wanted to kick the door down and blow the bitch’s head off. It was the second time in less than twelve hours he’d been duped by females. He turned and faced the terrified stares of the other passengers. “Looks like we’re heading to El Salvador, people. Buckle up.”
No one said a word. They all seemed to realize their choices were nil.
Kevin came up behind him and whispered, “Do we just stand here holding our nuts while she hijacks the plane?”
“As much as I hate to say it, yes. We can’t risk a takedown. If she kills Dee, we’re screwed. None of us can fly this thing.”
“When we land, she’s toast.”
“I’m right there with you, Kevin. But, if she’s telling the truth about a safe place for us all, then we’re at her mercy. Only she knows the way.”
“Bitch,” Kevin muttered.
“Oh, she’s way beyond that. The minute we step foot in a safe zone, I’m going to slit her throat. She’s more than a liability—she’s a death sentence to us all—if we let her live.”
