Chapter 17

The Metropolitan was a classic. One of Cleveland’s finest. But it wasn’t the prestige of the restaurant that made the women use it again and again. It was the location. Less than a stone’s throw away from Glitter—Lacy’s favorite club. A perfect place to lose an unwanted date.

“Okay—you ready?”

Lacy was the one walking into the lion’s den, but it was Quin who was getting all the reassurance. The young assistant had long dreamt of being ‘out in the field,’ but now that the moment was upon them, her nerves were starting to get the better of her.

“Uh...yeah. Yeah—I’m totally fine. Totally ready.”

Lacy pursed her lips doubtfully, looking the girl up and down.

“Look, there’s really nothing to it, okay? You’re going to get a booth by yourself in the corner—somewhere you can see me—and take pictures without a flash. If anything should happen, I’ll do the secret signal, and we’ll both get out of there. Meet up around back.”

Quin’s face paled, as her fingers trembled nervously upon the camera.

“And what’s the secret signal again?”

Lacy shifted impatiently.

“Come on, Quin. You know this.”

“Right! You’ll knock over a water glass.”

“I’ll knock over a water glass,” Lacy reaffirmed calmly, “and then we’ll both leave. It’s as simple as that. You could do it in your sleep.”

“Right,” Quin said again, nodding with more confidence. “You’re right—I’ve got this.”

“Hey Quin?”

“Yeah?”

“...did you remember to charge the camera?”

Five minutes and a furious reprimand later, both women walked into the dim lighting of the restaurant—cool and collected.

“Good luck,” she whispered, as the two of them split off in separate directions.

Lacy flashed her a smile.

Quin settled herself on the far side of the establishment, while Lacy walked up to the hostess—a picture of innocence.

“Hi, my name’s Samantha Cregg. I’m here meeting Mr. Harmon.”

The woman scanned down her list, before brightening with a gracious smile. “Ah yes! Mr. Harmon. I’ve actually already seated him. Right this way.”

Mr. Harmon, huh? The guy actually had the nerve to use his real name.

But as Lacy was quick to discover, the man’s boldness didn’t stop there. Instead of choosing a table in the back, as most of their secretive marks tended to do, he had picked one right in the center of the front window—a prime spot looking out over the entire city.

She had never seen a picture, Quin had conveniently forgotten to retrieve the photo she’d downloaded from his dating profile, but a tall man stood up the second she walked into view. A man with a smile so broad and greasy, she felt dirty just looking at it.

“You must be Samantha.” He took off her jacket without even asking, sliding it down her slender arms and giving a low appreciative whistle at the dress beneath. “You do not disappoint.”

Oh—this is going to be fun.

Lacy settled into her chair with a smile. “Well that’s the whole point, isn’t it?” she replied coyly. “To see if the face lives up to the picture?”

“Absolutely!” He flashed her a seductive grin, then snapped rudely for the waitress. “Hey honey—we’ll take a bottle of your most expensive red.
