After locating their Mercedes-Maybach sedan, he had quickly set to work and, after thirty minutes, was on his way back home.
He switched from the tracking app to the walkie-talkie app. “Andy?”
“Go for Andy.”
“The Maybach’s leaving the garage. You still have eyes on the exit?”
“Yeah, but I haven’t seen—” The walkie-talkie went silent for a moment. “Never mind. The car just came out.”
“Occupants?”
“I see two.”
“Is one of them the target?”
Another pause, then, “Yep. She’s in the front passenger seat.”
“Copy. Keep them in sight.”
“Copy.”
Murray had given everyone at his auto shop the afternoon off, so the garage was quiet. He walked through it and into his back lot.
There near the gate sat one of his special cars. On the outside, it looked like a generic gray Honda Accord—the kind of vehicle that blended into the background. Under the hood was another matter entirely. The factory engine had been replaced with a custom job that would provide enough power to get him away in a hurry if things went sideways.
Not that he expected that to happen, but he never left his well-being to chance.
Murray climbed behind the wheel and turned the key. The engine rumbled to life, purring just the way he liked it.
He contacted Andy again. “Update.”
“Just turned south onto Lex.”
“Copy. I’m on my way.”
Chapter 23
Stone tried to get amoment alone with Felicity, but she’d been constantly surrounded by other guests, and it was clear she would not be available anytime soon.
Lance, on the other hand, was nowhere to be found.
“Do you think he left?” Tamlyn asked.
“Probably grilling his people to find out why nobody told him about Felicity’s plans ahead of time,” Dino said.
“I wouldn’t want to be on the other end of that call,” Stone said.
“I wouldn’t, either,” Lance said from behind them.
Stone, Tamlyn, and Dino turned around.
“Do you always sneak up on people like that?” Tamlyn asked.
“It’s one of his many annoying habits,” Stone said.
“In all fairness, thatiskind of his job,” Dino said.
“If I may speak in my own defense,” Lance said, “I didn’t sneak up on you. You were just looking in the wrong direction.”
