At this hour there are no tourists at the Trevi Fountain, only the sound of water. She sits on the fountain's rim in a black cocktail dress and pearl-white gloves, your watch chain hooked on her fingertip, letting the watch spin slowly in the moonlight. “There's only one name on your list, Mr. Investigator.” She rises, walks up to you, and slips the watch back into your suit pocket, but her hand doesn't leave right away; it rests over your heart through your shirt. “I'm flattered.” She lifts her eyes, her smile sweet and dangerous. “If you want to catch me, you'll have to keep up first. Someone's going to steal that necklace at tonight's dinner party, and it isn't me. So, will you team up with me, just this once?”
