The Columbus Code (2015)
“Even though her Barcelona experience had started only a few weeks ago, she felt years older than when she began.
At the exit from customs she spotted Elena, just as they’d arranged. Maria grinned and waved but Elena’s response was unenthusiastic.
Actually that was an understatement. Her eyes were wide with panic and her face pasty-white. It didn’t take long to figure out why, either. Carlos Molina stood no more than six feet behind her.
The Austin voice in Maria’s head told her to get back on t...he plane. A wiser voice told her to pretend not to see him. She went straight to Elena, dropped her bags, and gave her a brief hug, lips close to her ear. “Did you come with him?”
“I would rather be shot. I don’t know why he’s here. He’s acting like he doesn’t know me.”
Maria could hear the terror in her voice and she squeezed tighter. “I’ll handle him. Just grab my carry-ons and head for the door.”
Elena did exactly as she said, though fled for the door would better describe her exit.MoreLess
