“Someone like the woman who drove the ambassador’s daughter out of Shanghai in a trunk.”
Lily looked at Sienna. “You knew. Last night wasn’t just an escape. It was an audition.”
Sienna’s face hardened. “Then help me finish it.” Over the next six hours, Lily Thai became a ghost. She switched Sienna’s phone with a burner. She drove the Navigator to a chop shop in Van Nuys, paid the owner five hundred cash to repaint it matte gray. She called Mack, who rerouted the entire Limo Patrol fleet to create a moving screen of identical stretch SUVs across the city.
“Pop the door,” Lily said.
Sienna’s head lifted. Even in the dim light, her mascara was a ruin. “They’re outside. The black SUV. They followed me from the Forum.”
“How do you know it was leaked?”
“It’s 2:30 AM. Do it.”
“Got a Code 23 at the W Hollywood. VIP refusing to exit the vehicle. Driver’s spooked.”
“Go for 7.”
Lily closed the file. “I have terms. Sienna gets full federal protection. No deals, no delays. And my record from Black Diamond gets expunged.”
“And I heard you made section chief. Guess we both disappoint our mothers.”
Lily didn’t look at the SUV. She looked at the tinted windows of the Navigator. A faint silhouette: a woman curled in the far corner, phone pressed to her ear, shoulders shaking.
The scanner buzzed. Lily pressed the button.
“Because two years ago, your stylist rented a limo from my old fleet for a bachelorette party. She paid cash and used that address for the pickup. I remember everything.”
