The next morning, Watson drove Julia over to the Owens' place.

As they pulled up to the neighborhood gates, Watson's car fell in line right behind Joshua's. Joshua had been to Owens Legal Services a few times before, and more than once, he'd seen Watson's black Maybach coming out of the underground garage. The car—and its license plate were hard to forget.

As soon as they entered the gated community, Joshua pressed on the gas and slid his Cullinan in front of Watson, then slowed way down, almost daring Watson to react.
