him most.
“You’ve got your stipulations,” he said, placing his other hand on top of hers. “I’ve got mine.”
Their gazes locked. The air crackled with tension.
“Yes?” She sat up straighter, her eyes brighter and her smile wider, playing the game.
If he hadn’t been so pissed off at being manipulated he would have admired her spunk. “You work at Isaac Vincent. I’m assuming that you know Bunnie Bernaldo personally.”
Bunnie, Sam had discovered in the course of his investigation, had bought herself a job as a fashion columnist for Moment magazine, the trendiest fashion rag in print.
“Of course I know Bunnie. She and I were at Vassar together, although she was a couple of semesters ahead of me. Why?”
Sam had a sudden idea. And he would execute it on his own time so he wouldn’t have to run it by the brass, but he had to play it just right.
Think on your feet. Keep your head in the game.
“Let’s just say the NYPD considers Bunnie a person of interest.” He threw the idea out there, not sure where it had come from, with no guess as to how to use it. He was simply going to see if she’d take the bait.
He’d only get one shot at this.
“In the Stanhope robbery? No way!”
“You don’t think she’s capable?”
Cass waved a hand. “Are you kidding? Bunnie likes the limelight too much for a clandestine career as an auction house bandit. Besides she’s loaded. She has no reason to steal.”
“It might not be Bunnie herself, but someone within her sphere of influence.” Like you.
“Could it be her boyfriend, Trevor Moon?” Cass whispered. “I’ve never liked that guy. Smarmy. It’s him, isn’t it?”
Sam shrugged, gave her a noncommittal look.
“Right,” she said. “You’re not at liberty to divulge that much information.”
He nodded. “So do you think you could rangle me an introduction?”
“I can do so much better than that,” Cass said, glee dancing like sunshine in her blue eyes. “How would you like to go to the event of the season?”
“And that would be?”
“A weekend party at Bunnie’s house in the Hamptons this Friday night.”
“Ms. Richards,” Sam said, “you’ve got a date.”
