Oh, God, of course it must be him…
I couldn’t see any other reason for him to be here so late tonight. It was just too much of a coincidence that Ron—a friend of Cardoza’s—would choose to work out so late on a Sunday night and then go visit the bathroom right before closing. He just had to be the text stalker.

Chapter 1
It appeared Ron Slaight hadn’t changed much in the last few years—he was still working as an investment banker at Bank of America, he was still married, and he was still cheating on his wife with his assistant Yvette, a porcelain-skinned redhead with pea-green eyes.
Of course, maybe the thick gold band on his ring finger meant that he was now officially attached to Yvette, not the wife he’d been married to when I’d first gotten to know him while undercover as Swedish Annika. He and Yvette might just like to visit expensive hotels during the day for an hour or two for a quickie before they went back to work. The hotel they had gone to this afternoon when I’d shadowed them was extremely fancy. As in $15,000 a night fancy. This was the sum that Ron had paid in order to spend a short time with Yvette.
“You’re kidding me,” I said to George, who was at the other end of the phone line at the moment. In addition to finding out where Ron was employed, he had just checked Ron’s credit card statements and found this outrageous charge made to the Four Seasons in midtown Manhattan. “They must have been celebrating some kind of anniversary for him to spend that kinda money. Maybe today is the date they got married.”
“I don’t think so,” George replied. “There are four additional charges to extravagant hotels in the city made this month alone. And unless Ron is a bigamist, it’s not his wedding anniversary to Yvette. According to the most current information I can find about him, he’s married to a Nora Hawkins and has been for the last seven years. He also has two children, aged two and four.”
I tskd and shook my head. “Amazing. I can’t believe his wife hasn’t dumped his ass yet.”
“Maybe she likes the financial security he has to offer. From what I can see on his credit card statement, this man likes to spend lots of money at luxurious places such as Tiffany’s, Bergdorf Goodman and at four-star restaurants. His credit card bill this month alone comes out to $69,000. He’s either getting seriously in debt or making very, very good money to afford all this.”
“Hmm. I don’t think he was such a high roller when I used to know him. Is there a way you can see if he’s in debt or if he’s making a lot more money these days?”
“Sure.” I could tell that George was smiling; he loved digging up stuff on bad guys as much as I loved to catch them. “Hang on a sec and I should have some information for you.”
As I waited for George to work his magic, I thought back to the time when I had
