“Good work. You have our appreciation. Here’s our agreed-upon payment,” the man said, setting the suitcase at Jace’s feet. “As always, it’s a pleasure doing business with you.”
“Pleasure’s all mine,” Jace replied and nodded to the man before he slid back into the passenger seat and closed the door.
The car zoomed off, headed to whereabouts that were unknown to Jace, leaving him alone with the soft, warm body in his arms. The woman sighed quietly and smiled, snuggling against his chest, and Jace nearly lost it. He let out a long puff of air that dissipated into the night. Shifting the woman in his arms once more, he stooped down to grab the briefcase with his free hand.
“Well, I guess you’re coming home with me, then,” Jace said to himself, then began walking toward his car several blocks down the dark street.
