The darkened towncar smelled of expensive leather and stale cigar smoke. Outside, the Los Angeles night blurred past, a kaleidoscope of red tail lights.
I slid the black leather ledger across the polished wood table to Damon Cross. He took it without a word, his gaze unblinking.

He pushed a cold bottle of water across the table towards me. “Leave Los Angeles for forty-eight hours, Mr. Burke. Go somewhere quiet. Don’t look back.”
“What… what happens now?” I asked, my voice barely a whisper.
