TWELVE

IN THE MORNING, Aidan tugged on my shirtsleeve, waking me. I’d zonked out in my clothes, and I was sprawled out on the bed on top of the covers.

In the swanky new room, there was a queen in our sleeping room and another pullout bed in the sitting area. Tre had slept there. Thanks to the kindness of our Sly Fox–fan desk manager we’d all had a comfy night.

I rubbed my face. “What time is it?” The drapes were drawn tight, sealing out the sky and it was impossible to tell whether it was morning or night.

“Noon, actually.”

What? How had we slept that long? But I knew how. It had been days since we’d had a good long sleep that wasn’t interrupted by people coming and going, or the need to clear out before we got caught, or straight-up anxiety.

“That guy is still in la-la land.” He pointed to the other room.

“How long have you been awake?” I asked. I knew that he’d laid down next to me.

“Since six.” He grimaced. “For some reason I woke up at the crack. But I did get a little work done. C’mon, I want to show you something.”

I followed Aidan out into the thickly carpeted hallway and down the mirrored elevator to the first floor. We stepped out into the lobby and eyed up the front desk. There was a guy there now but he didn’t seem to notice us—he was busy on his computer and in any case, we were mostly concealed by a brass luggage cart holding a tower of Louis Vuitton bags. Aidan wagged a finger for me to follow him to an adjacent door marked STAFF ONLY. I withheld my questions for the time being as we walked down another hallway and then stopped in front of a door with a card slot.

He inserted a key card until it blinked, opening the door.

“Our friend left early this morning but she gave me the key,” he explained.

It was an office room of some sort. “Are you sure this is okay?” I asked.

“Yeah, she said no one uses this room.”

I wondered idly what else Aidan discussed with the young female clerk. Was he flirting with her? Had he told her more about me or our mission? Had he given himself away to her like he had with the dudes at Wash U? I quickly tried to tamp down my sudden flare-up of jealousy and distrust. He’d gotten us a computer and that meant more information. He was trying to help me.

Inside was a desk with two computers and a fax machine. Aidan sat down and started typing. I knew what he was doing: plugging in Chet’s license plate number and running a search.

In the meantime, I made myself busy, Googling Granger. I couldn’t get the image of his fake smile, his mesmerizing eyes out of my head and I wanted to know more about this guy and his history. Who was he really?

There was his page, of
