As the aircraft touched down after its flight from Hue, a refreshed Bill and Mai deplaned onto the steamy evening air at Noi Ban airport. After a short walk from the plane to the terminal she quickly found that she was surrounded by her familiar bodyguards who led them through the busy terminal to the car parked directly out front.
They eyed Bill suspiciously as they strode toward the terminal entrance, but given their loyalty to Mai there was not a flicker of emotion shown by any of them. They had seen it all before, he would be just like the others they collectively thought...
Once ensconced in the car Mai leaned into Bill, and feeling his warm and familiar scent she smiled. Where are you going to stay darling she whispered? It's far too dangerous to go back to your apartment on Cát Linh Đống Đa. "I'll be fine love" he said confidently. No one will expect me to stay there, it's the perfect place.
I know the kind of people who did this to you and they will stop at nothing to drive you away from Hanoi, you've seen what they can do, and I'm afraid that the next time...her voice trailed off as a tear glinted in the corner of her beautiful green eyes. Don't be afraid he said pulling her into him and kissing her tenderly.
Mai's heart melted every time he held and kissed her like this...
