My pounding headache is not helped by the ‘futuristic vibe’ of the music in the Hong Kong nightclub. I am forced to push my way through the overly crowded space to get to the obscure elevator, which will descend to the secret basement conference room. Gyrating bodies and flirty looks do not help my mood either. I’ve traveled fifteen hours getting here, spending most of it with my emotions swinging from anger at being summoned, to worry over what will happen with Claire, to confusion about what I am feeling at all. My text messages to Claire have gone unanswered. The last I know of anything, was her drop off in the parking lot at her apartment complex. If I wasn't stuck here, doing this, I could go find her and insist she listens to me. I need to explain, and yet I am not even sure what I would say. That I don’t want to be without her in my life? That I love her? I shake my head in frustration and then wince at the pain. Love is not in my vocabulary.

Before I make any more sense of it, I am at my destination. The elevator doors slide open, and I step out into a space as opposite from the nightclub above as possible. The techno lights and rainbow of colors have been replaced with the tasteful muted tones of dark wood accented with soft grays. A pair of Asian men in black suits stand in the foyer. They might as well have bodyguard stamped on their foreheads, but I get it. The city's underworld is not to be taken for granted. Kidnapping a room full of billionaires, not to mention lesbian ones, is enough to tempt more than one triad. All the more reason to keep this meeting short, and then I can be back on my jet out of here.

The bodyguards know me, but I am still asked to go through a retinal scan recognition. Again, we cannot be too careful. Finally, the double doors to the inner sanctum open, and I walk in to see a half dozen unhappy lesbians around a glass and chrome conference table. All are seated but the hostess, Yuki. This is her building, one of many. The room goes silent as I stop and take in the lot of them. Zena, Val, and thankfully Lila are there, as are three others I have not seen in a while. I swallow hard. This is even more serious than I thought if so many of us have answered the call. Kris, the other American in our billionaire group, a software technology magnate, is the first to look away and clear her throat. This is no surprise. I have not met a more socially awkward rich person anywhere. Because I am angry, her show of weakness draws my fire. “Hello, Kris,” I snarl. “Come for the crucifixion?”

“Be nice,” Zena snaps in Kris’ defense. Her voice is cold, and I have had enough of the woman.
