but she was determined to get a glimpse of Boyevik for herself. Once the island security staff took charge of things her chance to get away and nail this story would be gone.
    She followed unseen at a distance and soon they were back out again on the runway. Leaving the guards to continue on she took shelter with Nena behind a stack of cargo crates. The Mafia soldiers regrouped on the runway. She counted seven in total.  She hadn't been able to keep an exact count of them but this seemed too few.
    Something was definitely up.
    "Get down Nena, stay out of sight. We're nearly at the end of this game, you just have to be really quiet a little while longer. Nena sucked in her lips and shut her mouth tightly.
    "Good girl." Lindsay smiled but her heart was wrenched with guilt and fear. Nena had no-one else in the whole world to care for her. If anything happened to her then the little girl would be completely alone.
    She turned away and took a deep breath.
    Don't think about it. Stay alert. Keep calm. Follow the story. Everything is going to be just fine.
    The seven Mafiosi on the runway looked profoundly disoriented. They slowly realized they were down four men in total and there was no sign of Mitch Albstrom anywhere. They were all staring up to the sky where a Gulf Stream jet was preparing to come in for a landing.
    After this things got very confusing. There were gun shots, tazers, darts, death threats and then, from what Lindsay could make out, the girlfriend of this remarkable Mayweather man had sacrificed herself to save everyone else by insisting on leaving with Mikhail Boyevik and his men as their hostage. She watched as the Mafiosi began inching their way towards their parked jet. They were shadowed by Ruben and his team until they climbed the stairs, locked the doors and their pilot fired up the engines. In minutes they were building speed for takeoff and those left on the ground stood looking as the plane lifted away from the ground.
    The stern woman in charge of Mayweather's security team walked over and took her boss's hands into her own. Their eyes met and for the first time since the beginning of the tense runway standoff, this heroic man looked vulnerable, shaken. His head of security wrapped her arms around him and held him tightly. After a moment he wrapped his arms around her too.
    Lindsay watched, spellbound, as the remarkable group of people just barely held it together during what was a crushing moment of absolute failure. She would have to find out who all of these people were and tell their story. This was too moving, too heroic to remain a secret to the world. Already they were beginning to regroup with the commanding figure of Mayweather giving orders to all around him. Then out of the blue the second tall and incredibly good looking man who had emerged from the plane caught sight of her.
    "Who are they ?" He said instantly, and suddenly, from being an invisible spectator Lindsay now found the entire group's attention focused onto herself and Nena who had come out from behind the cargo crates to stand next to her, half hidden behind her leg.
    "Go back inside. " Ruben Mayweather ordered her. "It's not safe out here."
    "Please." Lindsay said. "We need to get back home. We need to let our families know that we're safe. We were taken from the street days ago."
    She was thinking on her feet. If she went back inside then she was just a part of the general group and would be treated as such. She needed to get inside this story. These people were the missing key to the Boyevik story and were pretty fascinating characters all by themselves.
    Especially the man who had drawn the group's attention to her and Nena.
    "My people will take care of you. Now go back to the main building." Ruben said.
    "Don’t be such an asshole Ruben." The rugged man interrupted. "You come here kid." He said to Nena. "You too ma'am."
    This was it; her chance to get the inside story. There was always a way, always an upside to every
