“Hey, guys, the hotel is not far from here. I’ll take them there, let them rest, and then explore the night market nearby later. You two have had a busy day. You should head home and get some rest,” Jaylene suggested.
Stella considered for a moment and agreed. “Sounds good. I actually have plans to meet a friend for a hair appointment.”
After leaving the restaurant, Stella used the excuse of her friend picking her up to part ways with Trevor.
Not long after Trevor had left, a white Audi pulled up. Stella opened the passenger door and got in. The driver was her best friend, Felicity.
Felicity took Stella by surprise, as she was dressed in all black, along with a black mask.
“What’s with the ninja outfit?” Stella asked.
“Don’t you know that you’ve got to dress the part to avoid drawing attention?
Spies often wear black in old movies.”
Stella rubbed her temples and said, “That’s because there were no lights.”
“Huh?”
“Wearing dark clothes made sense back then. But, nowadays, with everything brightly lit, you’re like a walking beacon. How do you expect to stay hidden?”
Felicity then thought about it. “Fair point,” she said, reaching for a men’s coat from the back seat. “This should tone it down a bit.”
Stella was speechless. She was about to say something when Felicity patted her arm. “Look! Look! Look!”
Stella immediately turned to see what her friend was referring to.
She saw Jaylene and the others exit the restaurant and exchange a few words at the entrance before leaving. Jaylene waited for a while before getting into a cab.
Felicity immediately started the car and followed the yellow vehicle.
The cab navigated through a city district and finally stopped near a hospital.
