I knew Wynter’s prick of an adoptive father was in over his head with them, but that didn’t mean they wouldn’t try to use her as leverage now that I was on the scene. “Do you think the Triads will use her for a ransom?”įor their sakes, I’d better fucking be right. “I need to get to the airport,” I said as I bought a ticket, settling on LAX when the next non-stop Burbank flight was leaving in the morning. I wasn’t about to argue with her, so I just peered down at my phone and started trying to find a flight out tonight for Burbank. She’s friends with the woman who sent it.” Lodestar can help call the shooter off, though.” Reaching for her cell, I asked, “Why would your old college roommate receive this?”
