The doctor smiled. "If you take good care of it, no."
Judie nodded.
The hospital Judie had brought Leilani to happened to be the same one Yvonne was in. Once Leilani was patched up, Judie suggested they drop by to check on Yvonne.
Leilani fell silent for a moment, then hesitated and shook her head. "Forget it. Mrs. Sherwood doesn't want to see me."
Judie pouted. "Who does she think she is? You saved Yvonne. And you were the one who cured her legs! The Sherwoods are biting the hand that feeds them!"
Leilani rubbed Judie's head, not wanting to discuss the Sherwood family any further. "Let's go. It's getting late. Time to head home."
Leilani dropped Judie off at Callahan's estate first. Then, she took the elevator up to her own apartment.
Once home, she opened her laptop, logged into the underground network, and posted a bounty.
"$1,000,000 Reward: Looking for the man in black who pushed a target in the downtown shopping district today. $100,000 for valid leads."
Leilani's post included a detailed location and description. The moment the bounty went live, the forum exploded.
"One million? Damn, big spender!"
"Which little punk offended a heavy hitter?"
"This description sounds familiar..."
"Does the OP have a vendetta?"
Leilani ignored the comments section and waited quietly.
Before long, a private message popped up from a user named Pigeon, a patient she had once treated through the network.
Pigeon: [The guy you're looking for... I think I've seen him.]
Leilani narrowed her eyes and typed back quickly: [Details.]
Pigeon: [He used to be on the streets. Goes by the nickname 'Six.' Apparently specializes in doing dirty work for rich kids. Scar on the web of his right thumb, likes wearing black baseball caps, right?]
