Four Seasons Hotel, Sydney, Australia…
“Good lord, that feels delicious,” Tamara Rhodes purred as she stepped out
of the shower into a thick Turkish cotton bath towel.
The twenty-four-hour in-the-air first class flight from JFK to
Kingsford Smith Airport in Sydney, Australia, had been a marathon, even
with the luxurious bed chamber fitted with a thousand thread count Italian
linen and all the best Champagne one could drink. Even so, it had left her
exhausted. To try her exceedingly thin patience, upon arriving at her
lodgings, she found that the hotel overlooking the Harbor and Opera House,
had made an absolute hash of her booking.
It had taken another hour to sort
out the mess and move around guests before she was settled in the penthouse
unit she had originally booked.
“Holy Mary Mother of God! Oh, good Lord! Jesus Christ! Freaking
HELL!”
Tamara wasn’t Catholic, but perhaps if she kept crossing herself, it
would chase the giant spider watching her through eight beady eyes out the
door.
“Eek!” she shrieked and skidded around the breakfast nook into the
kitchen to glare at the monstrosity as her husky voice generated the opposite
effect. She moaned at the stridulation coming from the corner and stared with
wide eyes at the flashes of particles in the sunlight. “Did you just throw
those… those…” Tamara searched her memory for the right wording. She’d
read an article on the plane about the undesired inhabitants—according to
her, at least—on the continent.
“Barbed hairs out of your abdomen at me?”
She had learned those urticating hairs were a severe irritant to the skin
and mucous membranes, making her warier since they were potentially
harmful to humans. She definitely didn’t want to start an already challenging
trip with those spiky weapons poking at her skin.
Tamara hunched lower behind the counter as another warning hiss
came from Mister Spider, who, if she was right, was a badass, oversized
Goliath bird eater or Australian Tarantula, as the air hostess had referred to it.
She had laughingly tried to soothe Tamara’s mind—rather unsuccessfully, if
her current reaction coming face-to-face with the mafioso of spiders was
anything to go by.
“Now you listen to me, Mr. Spidey, if you know what’s good for you,
you’ll turn your big ass around and sashay out the door again!”
She pointed a shaking finger at the arachnid as he tugged his legs in
closer to his body. Her frayed mind already envisioned him lunging at her
from all the way across the room
