Zada's eyes lit up. “The boat's here!”
Sierra froze. A boat? She hadn't actually expected one to show up.
The phone call earlier hadn't even gone through-she had just been talking to herself. So this boat definitely
wasn't here for Zada.
But if Zada got on that boat and left, that would ruin everything.
After all her careful planning, Sierra had still missed something. She was speechless.
Zada turned to her with a bright smile. “Thank you so much, Sierra. The boat's here. I'm getting on now-I'm
finally leaving this place.”
Sierra panicked. “Wait! You didn’t bring any luggage or money, did you? You don’t even know anyone out there!
Just wait a second. I'll grab you scash!”
She was trying to stall Zada, to trap her with an excuse.
But Zada caught her hand. “No, it’s fine. I've got smoney on me, and it's enough to get by. What matters
right now is getting on that boat!”
Sierra's heart started to race.
Zada brought her own money? Then what excuse could she use to stop Zada? One way or another, she couldn't
let Zada leave.
Where the hell was Shaun? And how did this boat just happen to show up right now?

hit.
She said quickly, “I just remembered that Emerson never sentthe ticket info!”
Zada froze. “What? He didn’t send it? But the boat’s already here! How am | supposed to get on without a ticket?
“I don’t know what's wrong with that guy,” Sierra said, pretending to sound annoyed.
“Then call him!” Zada urged. “Please, call Emerson right now! | have to get out of here. Mr. Lane’s people are
after me. If they catch me, I'm done for! And I'll never find out who killed Halsey!”
Sierra put on a sympathetic face. “I know, | know. I'm worried too. I'll call him right now.”
She pulled out her phone and dialed a fake number.
Zada leaned in. “Did he pick up?”
Sierra frowned. “Not yet. Con, Emerson, where are you? Pick up, damn it!”
Zada grew more anxious. “Try again! Please!”

“He’s not answering,” Sierra said, feigning frustration. “He’s probably busy. Let's just wait a bit.”
Zada frowned. “Are you sure this Emerson guy's reliable?”
“Of course he is,” Sierra lied smoothly. “Lettry again. Just stay calm.”
She dialed the sempty number once more, knowing no one would ever answer. She only needed to buy time
until Shaun got here.
