Jacqueline, dressed in jeans and sneakers, quickened her pace as she spotted Hawk and Edward. Reaching them, she threw her arms around Hawk, giving him a firm hug. “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.”
Hawk stepped back with a composed smile. “It’s me who should thank you for the lead.”
Sitting down on a stone bench, Jacqueline said, “I saw the National Enquirer piece. My agent blamed that little b***h and ordered her to leave L.A. He said if she shows up again, he’ll have her dumped in Compton.”
“That’s harsh!” Edward, himself from Compton, winced. “A young, pretty white girl ending up there? That’s like something straight out of a San Fernando Valley film.”
Hawk cut to the chase. “I need your help with something else.”
Jacqueline, still feeling grateful, replied, “Anything I can do.”
“It’s simple,” Hawk explained. “You’ll need to pose as a pregnant woman to meet someone.”
