Taking out his wallet, Tate removed a hundred-dollar bill. As the other man eagerly put his hand out, Tate tore the bill in half and handed one piece to him.
“What the hell is this?” the man demanded. “Some kind of stupid game?”
“No game,” Tate assured him. “You get the other half of the hundred when I come back tomorrow and see for myself that she’s all right.” His eyes bored into the other man’s dark ones. “We have a deal?”
The other man cursed roundly, then shoved his half of the bill into his pocket. “We have a deal,” he retorted grudgingly.
“Good.” Tate turned on his heel and crossed to the door.
Tate could almost feel Hannah’s eyes watching him as he walked out of the suite.
Tomorrow seemed like an eternity away.
