Tyler entered his room and closed the door behind him. He braced his back up against the door, overcome with exhaustion. Nevertheless, he still had work to do.

Reaching into his inside pockets, he took out two cell phones: one, his own, and the other, Brandon’s sat-scrambler phone. After searching through the numbers in his own phone, he came to a number marked: Alex Home. Using the sat-scrambler, he typed out Alex’s number, and waited for the reply. “Alex? Hey, how’re you doing, bud?”

Alex Dalton stumbled out of bed to answer the phone, and took it with him into the living room. He made his way toward his sofa, taking in the neon splendor of the city of Dallas through the window. “Ty?” he said, slightly annoyed. “Jesus, man. It’s past midnight.”

“Actually, it’s only past ten here,” Tyler said, as though it made any difference.

“Where the hell are you? Your dad’s been real worried about you.”

“Yeah. I’ve been real worried about me too. Look man, I really need your help.”

“Sure, what’s going on? Where are you?”

“I can’t tell you that. Don’t worry. Nobody’s gonna pinpoint me with the phone I’m using. How much do you know about the underground scene in L.A.?”

Alex looked at his phone, puzzled. “What do you mean? Gangs? Drugs?”

“Prostitutes.”

Alex thought about it for a moment and cringed. There was only one person he knew who was even remotely connected to that world, and they didn’t see eye to eye. The woman in question had particular personality traits he’d never been comfortable with. Those traits had led to a rather emotional end to their former relationship.

But Tyler was his best friend, and he sounded desperate. “Well, maybe one, but not exactly prostitution in the street sense.”

“OK, let me explain. Somewhere in L.A., there’s a prostitution and human trafficking outfit led by some clown named Sapphire. These guys are killers, bud. I just need word on where we can talk to someone who’d know anything about them.”

Alex swallowed hard. “Human trafficking? Are you serious?”

“Deadly.”

Alex reached for a pen and paper on his glass living room table and scribbled down ‘Sapphire.’ “But Ty, why are you looking for these people?”

“They have my sister.”

The moments ticked by in painful silence.

“Alex? You still there?”

“Y-yeah, I’m here.”

“Look man, I need you to promise me not to say a word to my dad about this.”

“No, of course I won’t. I’ll get on this Sapphire business right away.”

“Thanks. There’s another name to check out too. A Fabian Rodriguez. He’s tied up with this shit, and they apparently have some involvement with what goes on around Avenue Nineteen.”

Alex wrote down the name and details. “OK. Leave it to me.”

“Thanks, Alex. I really appreciate this.”

“No problem, bud.”

The call ended.

Alex immediately dialed out again. Within moments, a familiar voice answered. “Hey, Miranda. It’s Alex. Long time no speak, babe. How are you doing?”
