“The delivery man said it was from Mr. Chase Stone.” She tore open one of the boxes. Confusion clogged my brain.
Even Troy’s name?
I yanked the top off another box. A black tuxedo lay inside.
A gold card with black lettering said, “Dear Mr. Troy Montgomery, please join Stone Industries in celebrating the grand opening of Pyramid.”
“How did he find out Troy would be here?” I tossed the card to my brother and wrenched open my box.
“This is shady.” Troy read the card and plopped it on the coffee table. “Does this company work with the CIA or something?”
“No.” Vivian heaved out a ruffled silk-organza gown outlined in sea-green beads.
How did he know her favorite color was green?
She twirled around with the dress as if she were heading off to the prom. “My dad has worked on Stone’s corporate legal staff for twenty years. The company mainly deals with the entertainment industry—record labels, video game systems, casinos, night clubs, and movie production. They’re invested in a lot of stuff, but nothing dealing with intelligence.”
“I was told I would be monitored, but I thought Lucy was over-exaggerating.” I fingered the strapless gown in my box.
Copper satin cords embellished in sequins started at the top of the dress and ended at the waist. Bronze silk flowed from the center and formed a skirt that would probably end above my knees.
I can’t get used to people dressing me.
A card larger than Vivian’s and Troy’s was attached to my box’s top corner. Black lettering said, “Be in the VIP section at eleven. C.S.”
I glanced at my watch. 10:00 p.m.
Goodness!

A cool breeze blew through my hair as Vivian and I stood in line outside of Pyramid.
