Chapter 6 - THE WOMAN WHO REMEMBERED EVERYTHING
The breakthrough came from a detail I almost forgot.
The silver ring.
The man at the hotel had worn it on his index finger.
Not just any ring.
A heavy silver band with a small black stone.
I remembered seeing it before.
At a charity fundraiser.
Six months earlier.
Daniel had introduced me to a man named Victor Sloane.
A security consultant.
A former military contractor.
He had shaken my hand.
And I had noticed the ring.
Now, sitting in Adrienne's study, I told Marco.
His expression changed.
“Victor Sloane?”
I nodded.
“Yes.”
Marco looked toward Adrienne.
The Mafia boss went still.
Then whispered:
“Of course.”
I stared.
“What?”
Adrienne looked at me.
“Victor Sloane works for a rival organization.”
My stomach tightened.
“Why would Daniel know him?”
Adrienne hesitated.

Then answered:
“That's what we're going to find out.”
