LAINEY

City Center

Las Vegas, NV

Saturday, 3:00 p.m. PST

Lainey held the single headphone up to her ear as Owen hit Play on the tablet. She watched the screen, smiling as it all came together. Owen had somehow managed to take the worst bits of Napper, splice in Lainey’s introduction, and make the entire piece not only accurate, but compelling. She wished he’d worked at KSBF when she was still there.

“I haven’t found a way to access their internet yet.” Owen spoke just above a whisper to not raise the suspicion of the guard standing watch across the entrance to the hotel. They were still outside the main doors, their equipment piled up on a stone bench intended for hotel patrons to rest while smoking a cigarette or waiting for a ride.

Jerry crouched beside the bench, fiddling with the equipment so as to not raise the guard’s suspicion. As long as they kept working, the guard didn’t bother them. He glanced up at Lainey and Owen. “If there’s no way to get online, we’ll have to hold it until we can reach the van.”

Keith held Bear by the leash as far from the doors as possible. “The van isn’t going to be an option.”

“Why not?”

“Guards are stationed at the exit to the parking deck. Even if we could find the keys, reach it, and get it started, we’ll never make it out of the deck alive.” They had filmed a few spots of him walking back and forth outside and Keith had convinced the guard to let him shoot the surrounding area, claiming he needed it for filler footage.

If he said it was impossible, then it was. Lainey frowned. “Then how are we going to get out of here? We can’t sit on this video. The rest of the world needs to see what this creep is up to.”

“Given enough time, I can probably hack into their internet or at least steal someone’s phone and grab the login info.”

“But the second we disseminate it, we’ll be sitting ducks.” Jerry stood up. “He’ll throw us in whatever passes for a jail and we’ll never get out.”

“Or he’ll just shoot us and be done with it.” Keith glanced back at the guard. “Now is our chance. With only one guy watching us, we can cause a distraction and break free.” He bent over and picked up his camera. “I shot this earlier.” He hit Play and Lainey and Owen hunched to watch the little screen built in to the camera.

From what Lainey could tell, it was a zoomed-in video of the bridge between the shopping center and the hotel. Dumpsters had been set up as a blockade to keep cars from entering the roundabout in front of the hotel. Lainey squinted. “Is that a gap?”

Keith nodded. “Enough to walk through for sure.”

“Why isn’t it completely closed?”

“We had to wait for a clear shot of the front entrance. A whole crew of people streamed in from that direction with rolling carts loaded with supplies. My guess is Napper’s people raided the shops and someone forgot to close the barricade back up.
