The woman got into the car escorted by bodyguards, but they did not stay with her, instead fanning out to the rest of the alley and ensuring the car got out without a hitch. Richard pulled his cap low over his eyes and pulled the car out smoothly, raising his hand in a friendly signal to the bodyguards that all was well—dearly hoping it would work.

The moment she entered the car, he felt all that her music had aroused in him. He knew her, knew her heart and soul, knew how passionately she believed in higher things and how deeply she wanted to call others. He also felt the conflict: whatever it was that held her back. Stopped her from issuing invitation to the Oneness, stopped her short of being what she was.

He eased the car into traffic without saying a word, just checking in the rearview to ensure his passenger was real, was really there, and was all right. She was more beautiful up close than she had been on stage, simple and elegant. She seemed distracted, staring out the window in a way that betrayed agitation.

He didn’t think she would notice if he went the wrong way.

Not that he didn’t want to take her home—he just didn’t know where that was supposed to be.

Guessing, he headed back to the freeway. He had some idea where the wealthier apartments and condos were; hopefully she was staying somewhere in that district.

To his surprise, she noticed.

“You’re going the wrong way,” she said abruptly. He didn’t respond.

She leaned forward and tapped him on the shoulder. “Kevin. You’re going the wrong way. We’re in the penthouse this time, remember?”

He cleared his throat, debating whether to actually turn his face for a moment, but in the time it took him to ask that question, she got over her distraction and really saw the man in front of her.

“You’re not Kevin,” she blurted, with surprising calm, and two seconds later, “You’re Oneness.”

“True, and true,” Richard said. “My name’s Richard. My apologies for the unconventional introduction, but I need to talk to you.”

He was impressed that she didn’t seem startled or intimidated. There was in her an openness he hadn’t expected from someone David was targeting. The others he had gone after—Diane, Jacob, even Reese—had been hardened to some degree, had thrown up walls. But openess seemed the primary characteristic of this woman’s soul.

“The car isn’t a good place to talk,” she said. “I can steer you toward home if you’re willing.”

“I’ll take you anywhere you want to go,” he said.

“Good then. Get off that exit and turn around.”

He obeyed. A quick glance in the rearview showed eyes that were alive with interest and curiosity. Far from being suspicious or cagey, she was treating him like a welcomed friend.

“Just a few exits up,” she told him once they were back on the freeway going the other way, and then added, “What did you do with Kevin?”

“Gave him something of a hangover,” Richard said, wondering how much to tell her.
