It was nearly midnight when Kael's car finally pulled into The Grandeur's underground parking.
I'd been parked across the street after them.
My phone was already out.
"Targets entering parking garage. Estimate 10 minutes until they're in suite."
I took a deep breath, steadying myself.
This was it.
I got out of the car and walked toward the hotel's service entrance, a plain door tucked in an alley beside the building.
There was a keypad beside it.
I punched in the code Chase had given me.
4782.
The lock clicked.
I pulled the door open and stepped inside.
The service corridors were exactly as I'd seen in the floor plans. Narrow. Utilitarian. Fluorescent lights humming overhead.
I found the stairs and climbed to the second floor, my footsteps echoing softly.
Room 2B.
I pushed the door open.
Chase was waiting inside, standing beside a utility cart. The room was small... filled with cleaning supplies and stacked linens.
