Helix Sneak Peek
I'm seven chapters into Helix's first draft. Here's a little teaser with spoilers. Helix is looking for Stella and Kane has determined she's on her way to Barbados.
Holy shit. She was flying to meet him on his yacht.
"I need to get my ass there ASAP."
"Is this for a job?"
"No, it's Stella," I said, not hiding the exasperation in my voice as I watched the plane lift off and angle upward.
He chuckled because he knew Stella was always up to something. I did not find this particular stunt very humorous. "I'll see what's available."
"I can have my gear packed in an hour."
"Bro."
"What?"
"You been to the islands before?"
"No."
"How are you planning to blend in?"
I looked down at my torn jeans, steel-toed boots, and sleeves of tattoos that extended up my neck. I scared the hell out of the bravest criminals, and I'd be very conspicuous in Barbados.
"Swing by my place, I'll give you the Island makeover," Kane said with humor in his voice.
Kane was new to Knight Security. I didn't know him at all, but he was also native Hawaiian. Not the same as Barbados, but he knew much better than I did how I needed to present myself.
"Fine."
I ended the call and pulled out my burner as I walked back to my bike. It appeared I was getting a makeover and taking an impromptu trip to Barbados. I had other shit to do. People depending on me.
