“We have trouble. She didn’t go where she was supposed to, and I think she figured out it was a setup somehow.” The tall woman took a long draw from her cigarette and released it. The gray-blue smoke rose and danced in front of her face, then slowly drifted away.

“I know,” replied the shorter member of the Justice Club.

“What? It’s only 11:30. How in the hell do you know?”

“How in God’s name do you think I know? The real question is how did Stella find out this gig was a con?” Curiosity dripped from the shorter woman’s voice.

“Oh no. Not me. Let’s get this out of the way. It wasn’t me. I didn’t tip her off. I agreed with you on this one. Remember?”

The shorter woman heard the anger in the other’s voice. That was good enough for her. “Fair enough. I believe you. But that’s not important now anyway.”

The taller woman let out a long breath. “You’re right. If she’s gone rogue, we’re all in trouble.”

“She knows everything about us. What we do. Where we go . . . and what we’ve done.”

“Almost true. She doesn’t know everything.”

“What does that mean?”

“It means we have a trick up our sleeve,” said the tall woman.

“What kind of trick? When we did this, we promised no secrets, and now you’re telling me that’s not true?”

“Relax. I’m pretty good at covering our asses, and this was a need-to-know thing.”

“I appreciate your concern. But trust is trust, and right now I’m not feeling it. So, no more horseshit. What is it?” demanded the shorter member of the Justice Club.

“You’re kind of cute when you get pissy,” the tall woman giggled.

“I don’t feel cute. Get to it.”

The tall woman took another drag from her cancer stick and released it. “There’s a fourth member of the club.”
