Was Amanda on some sort of drugs?

She had given me money, but not nearly enough to bribe a cop with. For such a small amount, he would probably end up just arresting me instead. But where the hell had she gotten the idea that I was going to the mall? There was no point in me going there, nothing I needed to buy, and I was in the middle of something.

Unless...

I pulled out my cell phone and added a bunch of contacts to the list of recipients for a message, one of whom was Vivian. The address I now knew belonged to Frank was added, too. If Frank wanted the necklace so badly, he was bound to fall for my bait. "Going to the mall to pick up my shiny," I wrote, not wanting the trap to seem too obvious, "Once I have it back, we can proceed as planned." Vivian, and most others who read the message, would find it to be utter nonsense, of course. But Frank... he was bound to be paranoid. He would follow me, and my guards would be there when he did. If everyone worked out, maybe I could trick him into getting himself arrested!
