They stopped in Alaska to refuel the helicopter before continuing their trip. Jake was restless the whole time and wished he had magical powers to transport him to Arlington within seconds.
Four hours later, they landed on a deserted playground which was a short distance away from the gas station. It was already nighttime and Jake was exhausted.
“There’s probably a motel nearby where they’re keeping her,” Shadow said as they approached the gas station.
Adrian remained in the helicopter as per Jake’s instruction. The plan was to take off as soon as his boss returned with his abducted daughter.
Shadow walked ahead of Jake, scanning the area with sharp eyes to make sure they weren’t being watched. To their dismay, the gas station was nothing more than an abandoned relic beside the road.
“What the hell!” Jake snapped.
“Your contact probably gave you the wrong coordinates,” said Shadow.<

“Be honest with me, Boris. What do you want to use this company for? Money laundering?”The Russian Don laughed. “What do you think?”“I don’t want to be a part of that. Send Irina here to continue with the registration and filing of the required documents. I don’t want Turner Group to be associated with any kind of illegal business.”“Stop talking like a saint. You and I know that you’re not.”“I never said I was. I’m just saying that I prefer to keep my business clean.

“What do you know about Sandra Barnes?” Jake asked Dono the next day after the party.“The name doesn’t ring a bell. Who is she?”“Some weirdo who found her way onto the ship and some noise about writing an expose editorial piece about me on The Daily Cable.”“And you’re bothered?”“Not exactly, but there was something about her confidence that tells me she has some solid backing to come after me like that.”“That’s how journalists roll. They’re all bark and no bite. She just wanted to rattle you and see what she can get out of you. I wouldn’t sweat it if I were you.”“Still… I want to know who she is and what her deal is.”“Fine.
