Raize went to the back of the vehicle as Jake started wiping the inside of it

We’d been told to pack light I had a se of clothes So, and I assu around, shifting on his feet

At least I hoped that was the reason he was doing the nervous dance The other reason meant a bullet in his forehead, and I did not want that to happen—not because of him, but because I lost my appetite every time a body dropped dead in front of me

Raize handed , and I put it onwent on the ground, and then Raize rifled through another s

He pulled out packets, handing one to each of us “These are your traveling papers These were taken care of by Carloni, so don’t get a big head thinking you have fake papers and you can head out from us”

The warning there? These papers could be traced Got it Also, Carloni would be pissed about the lost investment

I was also going out on a li that Carloni was also Carl It made sense

“You sit byat me

I nodded, taking my new driver’s license out

My name was Carrie Smith I was from Kentucky, and I was noenty-three

“You can call her Carrie,” Raize told Cavers

Cavers frowned, but didn’t reply

He also gave us new phones and took our old ones, which he put in a baggie and stuffed into his coat pocket

It took Jake about an hour to finish with the car

We waited to the side

Raize was on his phone, standing away from us with his head down Cavers was a sarettes on hiht up Probably Maybe that hy he was shifting on his feet He stuffed his hands in his pockets, and I caught the bulge fro to do about their guns Unless ere checking a bag?

That proved to be the case once Jake was done

Raize ended his call, shoving his phone into his pocket He jerked his head toward Jake “You’re checking your bag Everyone, put your guns inside Wrap the Give me the keys, Jake”

He handed them over

Raize went to the front and ducked inside to leave the bag of phones under the seat He put the keys in a zipped compartiving everything a once-over

After that, ere ready for the airport

Raize had us each enter through different doors and different security entrances He and I stayed together, and he sent Cavers off first Jake went next, with instructions to keep an eye on Cavers, fro

Raize and I h the farthest door and the farthest security checkpoint I used to fly, back when I lived normally, so I knew not all airports were the same Some had different security stations set up around the whole airport, which helped cut down the lines, but others had one large security line Those were horrible to go through—they took forever
