Chapter 16

I woke to Trevor’s voice, and at first had a difficult time figuring out where I was. A knock came on the door.

“Yes?” I called.

The door opened, and he stuck his head in. “Get up and I’ll take you ladies to brunch.”

All I could do was blink at him. How could someone be so cheerful so early in the morning?

“What time is it?” I managed to ask.

“Ten o’clock. Come on, I’m starving.”

I hadn’t gotten to bed at Jolene’s until four-thirty in the morning. Ten o’clock was far too early from my perspective.

“I need a shower,” I finally said.

“So get up.”

The door pushed wider, and Jolene padded in holding a steaming mug. She was still wearing pajamas.

“Here, drink some of this,” she said. “I’ll go take my shower while you wake up.”

Gratefully, I sat up and took the mug. Her eyes widened a bit, and I realized the covers had slid down to my waist.

“You didn’t grow up bashful, did you?” she asked.

“Nothing he hasn’t seen before, but he doesn’t seem to get too excited about it,” I grumbled.

She laughed and headed out of the room, taking Trevor with her and pulling the door closed.

After I managed to sort myself out and get dressed, Trevor drove us north of downtown and then out to the coast. I thought at first, he might be taking us to the place where I met with Michaela, but he drove past there and almost to the foothills.

“That’s the university,” Jolene pointed when we parked.

A street separated the restaurant’s parking lot from a large brick building covered with ivy and nestled in the trees. I scanned the area and saw more and more buildings with young people walking along sidewalks between them. On our side of the street, there were a lot of shops with a few taverns sprinkled in.

“This is where all of you went to school? Where Lizzy still goes?” I asked.

“Yep,” Trevor said. “We can go walk around if you like after we eat.”

“Sounds good. Where do the sugar daddies hang out?”

“Online,” Jolene said with a laugh. “You need a computer to go trolling for those guys.”

“If I could afford a computer, I wouldn’t need a sugar daddy.”

Trevor winked at me. “Life just isn’t fair sometimes.”

We sat by the windows at the back of the restaurant, overlooking the ocean and a lot of little islands just off the coast.

“That’s where the sugar daddies live,” Jolene jokingly told me. From the size of the one house I could see, the guy who owned it could have hidden an entire harem without his wife knowing about it.

After brunch, Jolene and Trevor gave me a tour of the campus. It was a revelation for me to see so many people of my age in one place. We saw almost no one over thirty. In my years with the Illuminati, after I finished my training at nineteen, I had almost always been the youngest in any gathering.

We sat on a wall that ringed the university, looking down over the cliffs above the ocean and discussing our next steps in taking down the bounty ring.
