“Or he could do the unexpected and show up as himself and try to pull it off. As himself, he doesn’t have to go through anything other than to show up. All it will take is one look to see if his wife is there or not. What he does from that point on will be a mystery to us, at least for now. My guess is he would leave ASAP once he saw his wife,” Nikki said.

The women started to talk on top of one another, but in the end, they all agreed that Moss’s showing up was the best working scenario that they could count on.

“If what you’re saying is he’s going to be in and out, there’s nothing we can do in a room full of people,” Annie said.

“Not so fast, Countess,” Myra said. “We could surround him and you, my dear friend, can gush all over him. He’ll be hard-pressed to dis you. But then what will we do? Remember, there will be well over a thousand people there if what Maggie said turns out to be true.”

The women went back to jabbering and pointing fingers and at one point yelling at each other. Kathryn put her fingers to her lips and let loose with a bloodcurdling whistle. “Enough already! Obviously, it will be too dangerous to do anything at the Four Seasons, and by that I mean dangerous for us. I think we all realize that now. So now we have to make a plan to take him out at his home. I’m thinking we may need Amalie to guarantee that for us.”

Yoko raised her hand. “I think it’s a given that Moss is going to have some private-eye types casing the Four Seasons to see if Amalie does show up. He’ll have her tailed at the end of the evening. It won’t matter that she’s with Jack Sparrow. What are we going to do about that? Where is he going to take her at the end of the night?”

“Off the top of my head, I’d say this is a job for Abner and Avery Snowden. Once Abner gives us the names of the detective agencies Moss used, Avery and his people can start tracking them. It will be a case of operatives trailing operatives. I’m almost sure that Director Sparrow will have some of his special agents on duty Saturday night also. I’m not worried about Amalie. Director Sparrow will get her to safety, I guarantee it,” Annie said.

“Did we decide if Amalie is going as Amalie, the way she used to look before her surgery, with Alexis’s help, or the way she looks now?” Nikki asked. “Maybe we should take a vote.”
