“They would be likely to believe that, since we bought your ticket,” Kathy said. “No, stop such talk.”

“What am I to do, then?” Square asked resignedly.

“Keep your eyes open.”

“Okay.”

Kathy went back to her seat.

Abril Trujilla was waiting at the seat, and she was excited. “I have an idea, dear,” she said.

“What is it, honey?” Kathy asked.
TALKING to Square had cheered Kathy somewhat. Anyway it had lifted her spirits to the point where
she was being catty to Abril again.

Getting an idea had evidently revived Abril, too, because she smiled sweetly and said, “It's a beautiful
idea. You'll love it.”

“I will?”

“Yes. You can make use of your man-eating talents.”

Kathy frowned. “Look here, sister. If you're planning for me and the little man—”

“Now, why didn't I think of that!” Abril said sweetly. “No, darling, it's the pilot.”

“The pilot?”

“The big hunk of man you've been rolling your eyes at and dragging your fingers over. The one who's
flying this airplane.”

“What about him?”

“How much,” asked Abril, “could you do with him?”

“Plenty,” said Kathy.

“I hope your confidence isn't misplaced, sugar,” Abril said. “Because how does this sound? The pilot
makes an unscheduled landing at some point. He lets one of us leave the plane there. The other one of us
flies on with Square. In other words, one of us gives the slip to this little man, and any of his friends who
may be waiting at Miami, Havana or any other point.”

Kathy bit her lower lip. She was thinking it over.

Abril said, “It's really very simple. They won't have people waiting for us where the plane isn't expected
to land. So all you have to do is have the pilot set one of us loose before we get to Miami.”

“The pilot,” said Kathy, “wouldn't do it.”
