Chapter 26: The Ring Master

As we walked up the steps to the hotel where the ball was being held, for the millionth time I thought of a way they would try to trap us. Lonnie and Wade had listened to me the entire way here. It was either talk about that or pay attention to the strange looks we got on the subway. Even in New York, the glamourous clothes and masks seemed out of place against the smell of urine and exhaustion.

“I am sorry, I would have had a car sent for us but with all of this mess…I don’t have a lot of access to my money.”

Lonnie laughed “Yeah we are broke right now is what he means.”

I had only smiled in response, consumed with my thoughts about everything being a trap, or how this whole night could end with no answers and us ripped to shreds.
