Shay smiled at her phone when she spotted John Candle step through a boarding gate in the Tom Bradley International Terminal. The light-haired man wore a large scowl on his face and a thin jacket and jeans rumpled from his time on the plane. A briefcase rested lightly in his hands, the accessory clashing with his casual outfit.

Smuggled your guns on that easily, huh?

The tomb raider resisted the urge to go for her 9mm and open fire. A gun battle in an airport terminal filled with people would turn bloody quickly. Even if she hadn’t cared about collateral damage, every traveler in the area could serve as a shield for Candle.

“Guess it’s time for the plan.”

Shay rose and sauntered toward Candle and the man tensed and froze.

Good instincts, asshole. Just don’t go for it.

“Hey,” Shay called softly. “Um, you just got off the flight from Tokyo, right?”

The assassin stared at her, his fingers twitching on the handle of the briefcase. He could probably open it and have a weapon out in seconds. She shifted the large purse she carried to conceal her weapon.

“Who’s asking?” the man growled, his low voice filled with menace.

Shay shrugged. “Some guy with a weird face and a lot of tattoos gave me some money to give you a note. Well, I think it was you. He described someone who looked and was dressed just like you.” She slowly held out a small hand-scrawled note on her palm, batting her eyelashes to look less threatening.

Take the bait, asshole.

Candle snatched the note from Shay with his free hand and walked away without another word. Even though she hadn’t read it, she knew the exact contents:

You think you could come to my town and I wouldn’t know?

I’m waiting. Come and get me. I’m just past the construction in Terminal 5.

Shay headed to a nearby coffee shop, sparing a quick glance after Candle. About fifty feet up the walkway the man’s head finally dipped and he read the note. His pace picked up after that.

The tomb raider smiled, letting her previous killer instincts rise to the fore. She pulled out her phone and sent Brownstone a text.

Contestant #1 is on his way. Make him feel welcome.

Shay waited until Candle turned a corner, then hurried into a nearby bathroom. She glanced around, but no one was inside. Her fingers went to a silver bracelet on her wrist. She wasn’t sure if there were cameras in the bathroom, but it wouldn’t hurt to jam them if there were.

She pulled an auburn wig from her large purse and slipped it on, followed by some oversized sunglasses. She hoisted the strap back onto her shoulder and headed toward Terminal 5.

Shay reached a row of roped stanchions and cones marking the construction zone. The foot traffic was light in the area, given that the terminal was out of use. Due to a fake message sent by Peyton, none of the workers thought they had to show up for work today. She assumed they’d figure it out before the end of the day, but the fight would be long over by then.
