Thirty One

Indigo

The hotel was a sleek black obelisk thrusting out of the ground. No name lit up against the side of the building like the other hotels in the area, and that in itself said something: it was too select to advertise. If you didn’t know its name, you probably weren’t ever going to find out. Daniel said it was simply called Indigo. He parked the Viper in the underground car park, and before she knew it they were standing in an elevator that looked like it came from the set of Star Trek. The only thing missing was some lens flare and a hissing sweep when the doors closed.

When they made it to the ground floor, Daniel slung her bag onto his back, carrying his own identical duffel in his hand. For the first time Farley felt self-conscious about her scruffy jeans and cotton shirt. All around her, people in business attire and designer clothes moved in and out of the hotel, pausing for the concierge to open the door because, heaven forbid, they should have to open it for themselves. This wasn’t her world. She didn’t care for this world, not one bit.

The polished marble floor of the foyer was slick. Her sneakers squeaked as she followed the self-confident figure that was Daniel as he bee-lined for the receptionist. The noise drew a few mildly displeased glares from people sitting on the leather couches, reading newspapers and working at laptops. They were all equally as polished as the floor.

Daniel dropped the bags with a loud thump and smiled briefly at the skinny blond behind the desk. Farley ducked behind the foliage of a Ficus, trying her damnedest to blend in and avoid the hot stares of the LA elite. They were obviously asking themselves the same question she was: what the hell was she doing here?

Daniel didn’t seem fazed by the fact that he was in a five star hotel wearing a faded black t-shirt and worn jeans, or that it looked like they’d slept in their car the night before. Which, technically, she had. Or at least she had some of the night. Mostly, she’d rolled around on the passenger seat, unable to get comfortable while attempting to work out Simeon’s riddle. Daniel had just driven. He slipped his hand into his back pocket, procuring his wallet, from which he drew a plain black card with silver embossing on the front. It made a snapping noise when he placed it on the desk.

“I’m checking in. I’ll be using my rooms.”

The blond didn’t even look up, just palmed the card and keyed some information into the computer. She stared at the screen for a moment then blinked at him. “Very good, Mr. Montisauri. Welcome back. I’ll have them opened up immediately. You can leave your bags and a porter will bring them up. Would you like to wait, or would you like a contact call when everything is arranged as per your requirements?”

“The requirements on record are no longer necessary.
