Chapter Eighteen

Sam straightened his bowtie in the mirror, and Jolene came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist, careful not to smudge the collar of his white shirt with her red lipstick. “Are you sure we’re doing the right thing?”

Sam patted the flash drive in his pocket. “We don’t know who we can trust right now. I don’t want this getting lost or deleted or corrupted. You saw what happened to Tucker in custody where he was supposed to be safe.”

“I’m glad we didn’t see my cousin Wade in any of that drone footage, but do you think he could be involved?” Jolene dropped her arms from Sam and rubbed the goose bumps that had risen on them.

“Do I think he knew that land was a dumping ground for dead drug couriers? No, but he knew those people wanted access to the land prior to the casino going up—and he gave it to them in exchange for money and support.”

“Sounds like something Wade would do.” She smoothed the skirt of her glittery white dress over her thighs. “When Rob Valdez’s girlfriend, Libby, ID’d Ted Jessup in Rocky Point as El Gringo Viejo, did she mention a wife or a girlfriend? Where did this Karen Fisher come from?”

Sam shrugged, the tuxedo jacket tightening across his broad shoulders. “I don’t know, but she and Jessup sure seemed cozy in the videos, didn’t they? She’s obviously the face of the financial empire EGV has built up with drug money. Jessup made sure to stay away from the public eye.”

“We could just turn this information over to the cartels, and they’d handle it in their own way. They don’t look too kindly on double-crossers.”

“There’s been enough bloodshed over Pink Lady, and if we can get Karen in custody, she’ll most likely sing like a bird and the DEA and FBI can shut down the production of Pink Lady for good.” Sam spun around from the mirror. “Does this look okay? The rental shop didn’t have time to do any tailoring.”

She trailed her fingers down his lapels. “A little tight across the shoulders, but that just makes you look even more buff.”

“Okay, because that’s the look I’m going for.” He rolled his eyes. “You, on the other hand, look like a shimmery white cloud of perfection. Actually, you look like one of those princesses Jess always wants me to read about. Wait until I tell her I know a real princess.”

“When she meets this princess, she’s going to be extremely disappointed.” Jolene caught her breath as Sam grabbed her hand.

“Does this mean you want to meet her?”

Jolene nodded, afraid to speak around the lump in her throat, afraid to ruin her carefully applied makeup with tears.

“Let’s get through this, first.” Sam pulled her close and kissed the side of her head. “Let’s go.”

As they drove to Tucson for the casino gala, Sam drummed his thumbs on the steering wheel, running through their plan. “Are you sure the AV guy you know at
