Vivian Tigress ✦ Fast

Her hand stops on the cup. For one second — a crack in the tiger’s mask.

KELLAN You burned paper . They rebuilt it from satellite audio. They know about the boy.

Rain on the window. Vivian wipes a teacup. A man enters — , handsome, desperate,十年前 her protege.

VIVIAN (softly) What boy?

She sets the cup down perfectly aligned with the saucer.

She touches the jade tiger at her throat.

Vivian doesn’t flinch.

KELLAN They found the list. The one from Bangkok.

VIVIAN To finish something I should never have started.

KELLAN Where?

VIVIAN Close the shop. We’re leaving in ten minutes.

VIVIAN I burned that list.
