"Where are you going, Apple? Where have you been?"
Hunched in the back of the crowd, I cover my face with a hat as I watch her scamper into a dark alley. My connection, Willow, will arrive any moment now with evidence that will destroy this weak b***h once and for all.
She's got a secret. I can tell. A woman knows when another one is trying to hide something shameful. Whatever Apple's up to, she doesn't want anyone else to know.
Which means, of course, that I must know everything she's been up to. Every small detail.
Looking over my shoulder, I keep my face blank as she follows Sly into a luxury rental. I don't think she saw me.
Not that it matters. There's nothing she can do. I know at least one of her secrets, one that can tear everything down if the public finds out.
