After I saw Violet, I went to the bar straightaway to check out the place.

I always carry out basic checks before I strike or go after a target.

The Wild Horse is smack right in the middle of the host of bars and clubs lining Long Beach. It’s what I’d call a cross between up and coming and a bit of a dive. I think that’s what makes it cool, though. It’s not one or the other so that it can attract all sorts of people.

My visit this morning was just to scout the place, talk to a few people who’d been to the bar, and check the surroundings, so I’m aware of what’s around me if shit hits the fan. I’m going back tonight for the real work. When I get there, I want to identify Talia and then wait for Jon. The place opens at eight and closes at four in the morning, but the owners allow people to hang out until sunset.

I was speaking to one of the locals when Aria called.

I would have liked to talk to the guy a little more, but since she never calls me, I knew it was important.

She sounded weird and a little freaked. I was expecting a message by now with the things she wanted. It was odd because she’s never asked for personal items before. Then again, Marylin was around to take her to the stores, and we didn’t have this threat over our heads.

I know it’s a pain in the ass staying in the house day in day out, but that’s how it has to be for the moment.

I’m at Aiden’s now. I messaged earlier about Jon, so the plan is to check out those addresses we got last night to get a lead on Raphael then go to the bar when it opens.

“I have good news and bad news,” Aiden informs me when I walk into his kitchen.

“Please give me the good news first.” I could do with some.

“We have details on Gina. Gibbs and Eric worked their magic.”

Jesus, thank you. That is good news and just the thing I want to hear after seeing Violet.

“What did they find?”

“Quite a bit. She had a CIA contact who was able to change her name and keep the change hidden. That’s why no one could find her.” Aiden sets out some documents on the table. The first is a bunch of pictures of a pretty dark-haired woman who looks like she was in her early twenties. “These are the only known pictures of her before she disappeared.”

This is good, and once again, I’m grateful for my alliance with Aiden. I would never have been able to get this intel on my own. Only weeks ago, we were told this woman was a ghost we’d never be able to find.

“This is great. What’s her new name?”

“Laila Turnbull, and she was listed as living in Wisconsin. The bad news is the listing was from two years ago, and there’s no one living at that address.
