Chapter 3 —Jasper DeBold To the Top



              “Baron, can you believe that sight? This flight has been marvelous. The service, the accommodation. The flight attendants. Wow!”
               “Control yourself, friend. We’re finally landing at Rio’s International Airport.
               “Did you understand what the captain said?”
               “Yeah. He thanked us for flying with his airline and hoped we had fun in Rio. He must have thought we were coming down her to play...”
               “Are you certain that Jasper is here?”
               “Fairly certain. The agency that I hired convinced me he was here.”
               “I find it hard to believe he ducked out of you...”
               “Us, Blake. He ducked out on us.”
               “OK, if you insist.”
               “Please fasten your seatbelts, gentlemen,” slim flight attendant said.
               “Now, there’s a body,” Baron said.
               “I bet she knows it,” Blake said and watched her move slowly up the aisle back to her first class station.
               “Yep. I’d like to spend an evening or two with her.”
               “Understood,” Blake replied.
