“Almost ready.” Trina bit her lip and narrowed her eyes in concentration as she stood over Hunter with a small makeup brush. “Okay. Done!”

She flipped the chair around, and my eyes almost bulged out of my head. “Holy shit!”

“That was the exact reaction I was looking for,” she said, grinning smugly.

I shook my head, still marveling at the job she’d done. “I know you’ve been practicing for days, but this is even better than I expected.”

“I knew I’d be able to pull it off,” she said, shrugging nonchalantly. “I’ve been waiting for a makeup project like this since I was eight years old.”

Hunter had been utterly transformed. I honestly couldn’t believe it was him sitting in the chair. His hair looked like it was graying, and his complexion was the same as that of an average fifty-five-year-old man. With a black and gold patterned domino mask covering the middle third of his face—including most of his nose, which was the main feature he had that differed from Charles Connery—he was almost indistinguishable from his father.

“How did you get his hair to look like it was going gray?” I asked.

“I combed talcum powder through it and set it with hairspray,” Trina explained, cheeks flushing with pride. “It’s better than a wig, because with wigs there’s usually an obvious bit where it starts, even if you try to combine it with the real hair.”

“And the wrinkles?” I leaned closer, squinting at Hunter’s forehead, cheeks, and neck. It was unbelievable. I couldn’t see a hint of makeup at all. He actually seemed to have aged thirty-five years in just a few hours. Even his hands looked older.

“Liquid latex,” Trina said. “It’s what all the special effects makeup artists do for movies. You spread it over the natural skin, and then you start picking at it while its drying to make the wrinkles. Then you lightly go over it with foundation to give it the proper color.”

“It’s seriously perfect,” I said. “No one will have any idea that it’s really him, unless his mask falls off.”

Trina raised a brow. “I stuck the mask to his face with eyelash glue, so that won’t happen.”

“It’s gonna be a bitch to take off later,” Hunter said with a wry smile. He swiveled around in the chair to inspect himself in the mirror again. “Honestly, it’s kind of depressing to see how much I look like Dad now.”

Trina rolled her eyes. “Well, it worked out for us, didn’t it?” she said. “Imagine if you didn’t take after him and you were a short, brown-eyed redhead instead. This plan of yours wouldn’t work at all then.”

I glanced at the clock on the opposite wall. “Speaking of our plan, I hope Adam’s nearly done with his part,” I said, brows furrowing. “It’s nearly half past seven, and I have to go and meet the Medusa girls by the side entrance at nine.”

Right on cue, Adam walked into Hunter’s bedroom. “Don’t worry, we’ve still got plenty of time,” he said. He held up a hand.
