Chapter 10

The address James Foreman gave my sister leads us to the downtown district of Edison, straight into a lux high-rise hotel called the Royal Regency.

“The penthouse?” I muse as the elevator spits us out onto polished marble floors and we find a couple of bodyguards standing outside of a gilded door while a mob of beautiful women all clamor to get inside. And now those guards will have to contend with Macy, Georgie, Juni, and me as well.

“That’s right.” Macy blows on her fingernails before buffing them over her chest. “Nothing but the best. This guy is the real deal. He’s got some serious change rolling around in his pocket, and he’s a looker. We’re talking Wolf of Wall Street material.”

“If my memory serves correctly, he was dressed more like the guy who does the taxes of those wolves.” It’s true. He was tall, lanky, and cozy in a sweater. Devan said he has some position at the publishing house Patterson Higgins was running. She said they were arguing over something business-related, and that’s as good as a motive for me.

Georgie chuckles. “If Jasper asks what you did tonight, just tell him you were running with the wolves.”

Juni sucks in a breath as she looks to the woman who bore her. “There’s a full moon tonight, Mama. How about when we finish up here we head out and run with the pack just like the old days?”

Macy scoffs. “You can run in the woods. I’ll be running wild in the bedroom.”

“And this is why I drove,” I say. “And don’t worry, Georgie. I won’t need an alibi when it comes to my husband. If Devan and her magic mushrooms turn out to be a dead end—pun intended—then I’ll be one step ahead of the game. Besides, I’m not investigating. I’m merely making sure my sister doesn’t get ravished by a wild animal.” I blink a smile her way. “Now get us through that door.”

We scuttle onward with Macy as our fearless leader. Macy, Juni, and I have all donned the requisite little black dress—as have the masses congregating around those beefy security guards. And Georgie has stayed true to herself, wearing a lime green kaftan with white paw prints all over it.

Macy elbows her way to the front of the line and gives one of the bald walls of muscle her name, and soon the gilded door is opened and she’s escorted inside.

Georgie, Juni, and I go to follow, but the door is promptly shut in our faces.

“Sorry, ladies.” The wall of muscles gives a consolatory smile. “Feel free to join the kitty collective.” He nods to the mob of women behind us. “If there’s an opening, we’ll let you know.”

“What?” I pull out my phone to text my flaky sister when the gilded door opens once again and Macy stands there like a queen with yet another security guard by her side. “Great,” I mutter. “They’re giving her the boot already.”

Juni groans. “That’s too bad because I smell men and money, two of my favorite flavors, and I was really starting to get a bad craving for both.
