Marco grabbed the towel out of Anna’s hand and passed it to Lyle who covered Lewis with it. He put the other body in the galley closet to get it out of sight, and then walked back into the cockpit and grabbed the headset and mic. “Santorini tower this is Gulf Stream November Alpha 2563 declaring an emergency. We are at 38,000 feet. Pilot and Co-pilot are down. In need of walk through assistance for landing.” Marco had the headset on so only he could hear the response. There was a brief pause while he listened to the directions from the tower. “Roger Santorini will hold at 38,000 feet and await further instructions.” Marco took off one earpiece and turned back to the others in the main area. “They are getting someone to walk us through landing. You guys better batten down the hatches and buckle up. Lyle when your done I will need you up here. “ Marco put the earphones back in place and focused forward Amaris and Anna grabbed all the plates of food and threw them in the dish tray in th

Christos led Amaris and Lyle around the corner and down a side street. “I will warn you. Jason’s car is a bit cramped.” Looking around as they walked down the street, Amaris could see what he meant. There were many smaller fiats, and other economy sized cars parked around them. Amaris was expecting Christos to walk up to one of the cars parked along the side of the street. Instead they stopped in front of a garage. The key chain that Jason had handed him had 2 remotes on it. Christos held out the larger of the two and pushed a button. The garage door opened to reveal a bright orange Lamborghini. Amaris was not familiar with cars but knew enough from the logo on the nose of the car that it was a Lamborghini. Lyle however stood there with his mouth open. "Is that a Lamborghini Sian? They only made 19 of those. How the hell did a kid like Jason get one of these. The bakery business must be really good.” Christos laughed. “This would not be what i would choose to spend my money on but the

“Hey guys! How is it going?” Came a familiar voice into both of their heads. “Oh my god!! I love Greece! You are never going to guess what!!” Silence. Startled, Amaris and Lyle had flown apart. Lyle standing up on the floor next to the bed and Amaris grabbing a pillow from the bed and rolling away to cover herself. Both were breathing heavy, looking around the room. “Guys? Are you asleep?” It was Anna. Both Amaris and Lyle looked at each other and burst out into laughter. The voice had scared them. “We are here Anna. What's going on? DId you find out anything?” Lyle answered. “Are you okay? You sound out of breath. Who knew that you could sound out of breath in your mind.” Amaris’ face flushed bright red like she had been caught, even though Anna could not see a thing, she felt like she had been caught. “No this place has a lot of stairs.” Lyle said with a big grin on his face. “Oh wow! Well we are here at the bakery. This place has the most amazing bakla

Christos led the trio around the corner at the end of the corridor into an underground aqueduct. It was used as a way to bring goods in and out without being seen. Christos went to the row of boats and began untying all of them. He pushed all but one of them out into the flowing water and motioned for Amaris and Lyle to get into the last one. It was a gondola. There were not many of these to be found here since the island was so small and there were no canals for them to be used in. Christos moved to the back of the narrow boat and grabbed the forcola and began to propel the tiny boat in the direction of the mouth of the tunnel. The opening was opaque and it was impossible to see where they were going. They could not risk a light or they might be seen. There were footsteps pounding down the stairs. The sound tapered off as they went further in. The tunnel was dark. They could see absolutely nothing. The only thing they could hear was the moving water and the gentle circular motion of

Christos relayed his plan to the whole group through the mind link. The men had stopped firing and were just waiting, but he was sure that they were not going to wait forever. “Surrender the girl and the rest of you can go free.” A voice came from the other side of the rocks.” Amaris got nervous. They could all go free if she just surrendered herself. No one else would get hurt. Lyle seemed to know what she was thinking, because he put his arm around her and pulled her close. Leaning down to whisper in her ear. “You are not going anywhere. We will all get out of here and we will ALL be fine.” “Come on it’s time to move.” Christos said. He waved Amaris and Lyle ahead of him and they were able to continue down the line of boulders to the bank. Men began to come out of the tunnel that Amaris, Lyle and Christos had emerged from earlier. They would now have men moving at them from two sides, and if they did not get out of there now that would give their assailants more time t
