It hurts like hell not having her here. He's trying to tolerate Emma and Sean but know that he's giving them both a hard time. Ash checks his watch. Five hours and he has to leave and he's in a wretched flat with a gun saving their lives again.
Dirty phone calls aside, he's talked to Stacie at every spare moment. He's glad it's a hooky mobile, lord knows how honest people pay phone bills these days. Today he can't as she's up there in the sky and he just wants her on firm ground.
Danny has been the perfect gent, he can't fault the man. He knows that Stacie has been tearful but worked the cons asked of her until she said no more. She confesses she can't lure them in when her heart belongs to him, and he feels guilty for ruining the best female grifter he's ever known.
The American team Danny joined, had a fixer and he has the responsibility of June. Stacie's met her and sees the fragility, told him and they knew it was the right thing to do. He needs to work to build up the nest egg he's started to invest in property.
Ash and Stacie gave it six months with three holidays. She's been gone 2 months and wants him back. He feels a bit of pride in that. Right now he has to save these two, get keys from an estate agent and get to the airport.
