We stopped by the penthouse first. Johnny had more than enough weaponry, ammunition, and scuba gear for the mission. Hell, I’d been training with all of it over the last 12 months. The only thing we lacked were the scuba sleds, and those would be delivered to us at the airstrip before we took off.
While Johnny assembled the weapons and equipment, I went up to the master bedroom and looked in the top drawer of my dresser. There, on the velvet-lined trays amongst my watches and cufflinks, sat the wedding rings I had planned to exchange with my bride on our wedding day.
Planned.Not had planned. The wedding rings I planned to exchange with her on our wedding day.
I picked them up, both of them, and rubbed them between my fingers.
These are my good luck charms,I told myself, fighting back desperation and despair. I’m putting this ring on her finger the very first moment I can – which will be in just a few hours.
I kissed them for good luck, placed them in my inside jacket pocket, and rushed downstairs to help Johnny.
