Pain throbbed behind my eyelids, a relentless hammer pounding against my skull.

Glancing around, I realized I was in what appeared to be the presidential suite at The Plaza. How I'd gotten here remained a mystery-another blank space in my memory.

Fragments of memories flickered like broken film: the charity auction, leaving abruptly, heading to The Rain-that upscale bar I'd been frequenting lately.

"Mr. Shaw! You're awake!" Her voice was too bright, too cheerful for my current

state.

"What?" The single word fell from my lips like ice.

She faltered slightly but maintained her smile. "May I come in? I'd like to speak with you."

"Say what you need to right here. One minute." I leaned against the doorframe, not bothering to hide my impatience.

"I'm Olivia Harrison," she began. "I helped you last night when you were... indisposed. My friend Angela and I brought you-"
