Russell’s eyes widened so much I could see the whites. “She’s right. I’ve been monitoring your social media and getting alerts. As soon as you became a target, Viktor would have done the same thing. He knows we’re here.”

I pressed in Code’s number. He picked up midway through the first ring. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Everybody’s fine. But we might have a bit of a situation, but I don’t think it’s a big deal.”

“Tell me.”

He was in all commander mode.

“I ran into some fans not long ago, and one of them snapped a picture of me while I was in the lobby, next to the hotel’s sign with its name. They posted it on Instagram twenty minutes ago.”

Code sucked in a deep breath. “Good. You did the right thing to call.”

“But it doesn’t mean anything, does it? I mean, he’s not going to be scrolling Instagram for pictures of me.”

“No, but he’ll have alerts set for any mention of you on the web. Trust me, Baby, he knows where you’re staying. Have Russell or Sophie call and Uber, and while they’re doing that, Jase will find a hotel for you and put it on his card so all Sophie will have to do is show her ID and grab the room keys.”

I’d put this call on speaker phone, so Russell was already keying into his phone, hopefully for an Uber.

When I glanced at Sophie, I noted that she had her hands squeezed between her thighs. I’d bet a million dollars it was so nobody could see them shaking.

“Katherine, did you understand what I just said?”

“Yes. I’ve got it. Russell is arranging an Uber right now. I’ll wait for Jase’s call about the new hotel.”

“That’s exactly right. This is almost over. You’ve got this.”

I hoped he was right.
