That Time in Moscow by Logan Ryles (summer reading list .TXT) 📕

“Well done. Both of you. Damn good job.”

Lyle sniffed from a back seat, and Kevin muttered a curse. Edric turned the grin toward them and lifted the glass. “Calm down, guys. I haven’t forgotten you.” Edric settled into a seat as the plane’s engines spun up and the aircraft gained speed on the runway. He took a sip, then faced each of them, one at a time. “You guys broke protocol. You took some shitty risks. You put the entire mission on the line.”

Kevin snorted. “And right about now, I’m wondering . . . why?”

Edric laughed. “I owe you one. All of you. Here’s to Charlie Team!”

Everybody with a drink raised it, then sloshed liquor over themselves as the plane’s nose reached for the sky. Wolfgang felt the ground disappear beneath them, and he settled back in the seat. He looked at Megan across from him and thought again about words unsaid.

Those words he would keep, he decided. For a little longer.

Kevin and Lyle started shot-gunning questions about Koslov to Wolfgang and Megan. Mercifully, Megan offered the answers, allowing Wolfgang to lie back and relax for the first time in days. He didn’t pay attention as Edric stiffened in his chair, glancing down at his phone. He didn’t turn his head as Edric stood up suddenly and walked to the cockpit, the smile vanishing from his face. But he sat up when Edric burst back into the cabin and placed his hand on Wolfgang’s seat.

“Somebody just attacked SPIRE. The director’s daughter has been kidnapped.”

The plane fell into stunned silence as they all turned toward Edric. Then he answered their question before anybody could ask. “We’re going to Rio.”
