Li was working late Thursday night, so Carolina took the opportunity to work late as well. She dressed in a low-cut black dress that skimmed her hips and fell nearly to the floor. The sleeves were long and narrow, reaching to her knuckles, and with a loop around the thumb. The flowing skirt had a slit that ran most of the way up her thigh.
Most hunters tried to blend in while stalking their prey. Carolina dressed to be noticed.
Her quarry this evening was Cian Wilde, a man who, if rumors were to be believed, had his hands in nearly everything that went on in the Tenements District. She didn't know exactly what he looked like. Most people seemed to agree that he was tall, although exact descriptions of his height ranged from plausible to unlikely. Depending on who was speaking, his face was described as either wolfish or handsome, and occasionally both. He was tattooed; that fact was almost entirely undisputed.
She'd been out a few times since deciding that it might be to her benefit to meet Cian Wilde and have a ... conversation. So far, she hadn't managed to run into him. Earlier this week, one of her contacts had told her of a bar where he occasionally did business. It was worth checking out, and even if she was unable to run across Mr. Wilde this evening, she was likely to hear some information that would lead her closer.
When she arrived, she slid onto a stool at the bar. The bartender came over immediately, and Carolina ordered a whiskey on the rocks. Then she crossed her legs so that the skirt fell away and showed the long line of her thigh. She leaned forward slightly against the bar and glanced casually around at the other patrons.
