Rogue sat in the car as darkness spread across the City of Angels. She was alone, which felt odd after being with Tom, Spencer and Juliani almost non-stop for the last few days. And that sensation felt even odder- since she’d been ostensibly on her own for the last two years. Rogue stayed strong, keeping her head in the game.

The car was parked around the back of the Green Lizard, a strip club off Sunset and on Curson Avenue. It wasn’t illegally parked, but Rogue knew the alley was used for access and she could be moved on at any minute. The problem was – there was nowhere else to park in the vicinity and they might need a quick getaway.

Spencer and Juliani were inside. She worried about those two being let loose inside a strip club, pretty sure neither of them had much experience prowling adult cabarets.

The plan was simple. They knew Cesar was inside. Rogue had been waiting for a DMV contact who was strapped for cash to call back when, out of the blue, another spotter she’d hired on arriving in Los Angeles had called to say he’d just entered the Green Lizard. Finally, they’d caught a small break. They still had to make contact with Cesar without arousing suspicions.

Rogue hadn’t wanted to hand the reins over to the guys but, faced with this establishment, she hadn’t had much choice. She checked her phone for the fifteenth time in just ten minutes.

No contact.

By now, Cesar should have been located. Spencer and Juliani’s job was to let her know the instant he headed for the men’s room. If it didn’t happen soon, they had orders to pay a woman to get him to the men’s room. If that didn’t work, they would follow him home.

Twenty minutes passed. Rogue watched hundreds of figures crossing both ends of the alley. Four people came down in that time, three women taking a short cut and one guy taking a leak. She watched windows and doors further along. All remained still. The shadows lengthened. Finally, after thirty-five minutes her phone rang.

“Now.”

She leaped out of the car, beeping the lock behind her, grabbed the broken handle of the club’s rear door, wrenched it open and slipped inside. A dark passage greeted her. It led past a changing room, an office and a storage room. Rogue’s plan didn’t involve impersonating a performer, but she figured she had the body to get by if anyone saw her. Minus the tattoos, of course. She swaggered down the passage unhindered and soon came to a new door, which she opened. Ahead, were the restrooms.

Cesar was right in front of her, pushing his way into the men’s. Rogue smiled as she passed him, slowing down on his blind side. Cesar tried to turn as he entered the restroom, perhaps sensing danger but more likely hoping she’d be up for something special. His movement stalled when she push-kicked him in the small of the back.

Cesar fell through the door and landed on his knees.
