Chapter 14

  Dick was standing in the arrival area at the airport with a plastic cup of coffee in his hand. The flight from Colombia had arrived and the first passengers were coming out. He tried to see in the luggage area when the doors opened, but he couldn’t see Conchita. For a minute he thought she might have changed her mind at the last minute and decided to stay. Then he saw her, she was wearing a simple light blue dress and her hair was tied up in a ponytail. When she saw him, her face broke into a big smile and she ran forward.

  “I missed you so much Dick,” she said and buried her head against his neck. He hugged her close and they stood like that for a minute. Then she stepped away from him and he picked up her bag from the floor.

  “My car is waiting for us outside,” he said when they were close to the exit.

  When Conchita walked out she saw a stretched limousine with a driver next to it. The car was black and the longest car she had ever seen.
