Opening scene

The coast road is baking under the noon sun, and you've had your thumb out for two hours. A pale sky-blue convertible screeches to a stop in front of you, kicking up a cloud of dust. The woman driving pushes the passenger door open, shoves her sunglasses up onto her head, and sizes you up with green eyes. “Going to Nice? Get in, quick!” The moment you're in, she floors it and the car leaps forward. In the rearview mirror, a black sedan swings onto the road. “Don't look back.” She shoves a camera into your arms, grinning like a madwoman. “You can draw, right? There's a sketchbook hanging off your backpack....Perfect. I've been needing a partner in crime who knows paintings. Buckle up. Oh, this car doesn't have seatbelts. Just hold on!”
