Johnson to the air strip was an aging Volvo. There was no commercial airport. The strip was improvised in a wide meadow that had serviced military transports in past campaigns. Two planes were on the ground when they arrived: the larger transport from Athens and a smaller cabin job from Corfu. In addition to the planes, there were three other vehicles at the scene: the van that had conveyed the four bodies, a police car containing local officers and Zervios, a second taxi that brought Brooks Martins and Sam McKeough to supervise the departure, and, surprisingly, Pattison Blair’s Ferrari. The reason for the presence of the Ferrari was quickly discovered: she had driven Peter Lange, who insisted on accompanying Harry Avery on his last flight, as a legal duty. “I expect there will be clearances to sign before the body can be released for burial,” he explained to Martins, as Brad arrived. “Everything will go smoother if I’m on hand.” “That’s your privilege,” Martins said.
