A setback
By this point, Tristan had moved to Los Angeles full time, although the King Lion Gang was still catching up with him.
With all the dirty and clean money, he could afford a spacious apartment for each identity, full of comfortable things and storage space. Far from his best friend and close to the bunch of weirdos who were his allies in the criminal world…
But Nelson was planning to move to greener pastures too soon. And the GTG agency was eager to make a new office for themselves near Hollywood.
When the bad news came, though, Tristan was far from his apartment. He was networking, as in, attending one of the small-scale parties he had been invited to in a local restaurant.
The call came at a fortunate moment—there was a girl trying to get uncomfortably close to Tristan. He liked the attention, but he didn't like her, so he eagerly escaped outside the restaurant to reply.
