We didn't get far. We were halfway down a side street when headlights flooded the alley. The black SUV screeched to a halt, blocking our path. The doors flew open.
Vega stepped out, holding the decoy bundle. He didn't look angry. He looked amused. "A child's trick." He tossed the fake papers into a puddle of dirty water. "I'm disappointed. I thought you were smarter."
He hadn't come alone. The second car had been waiting. We had walked right into the trap. He had Ms. Liza again, and now he had us.
"Take them," Vega said, his voice flat.
Two men advanced toward us. We were cornered. This was it.
