Chapter 1

It's raining in Central City, by three in the afternoon I figured it had been coming down steadily for about thirty hours. It's Friday, but it could have been Monday or Wednesday or any other day in the week because they'd all been the same. In my gig, all the days are pretty much the same if there is no business and the past seven days has been particularly void of potential clients. By three o'clock, I uncross my legs, drop them off the desk and swung around in my chair to look out my second-floor window at the other side of Vine Street. I heard the door open at my back and swung around. She's standing there; her head cover with a bright water soaked scarf. Her raincoat collar turned up around her neck, and as she untied the scarf, she smiled a quick smile.

"Mr. Stone?"

"Yes, close the door, come in," I smiled.

"Thank You. It doesn't look like it will ever stop," she said.

"I bet the farmers will like it."

"May I sit down, Mr. Stone?"

"Oh, yes!" I stood up and pull back the chair for her.

"How much do you charge?"

"It depends on how much you want done."

"I want you to pick an envelope up for me tonight."

"Just an envelope?"

"Yes! I want you to pick it up and I’ll call for it tomorrow."

"Why can't you pick it up?" I asked.

"Why I can't, is personal. Why I want you to pick it up, is business. How much will you charge me to pick up the envelope, Mr. Stone?"

"Aren't you getting a little cold in that wet coat?"

"Yeah, a little. If you're going to take a while making up your mind, I'll take it off."

"I'd like to know a few things."

"Then I'll take it off," she takes off her coat, and I hang it on a hanger. "What would you like to know, Mr. Stone?"

"We could start with who you are?"

"Melissa Carr."

"Hum?"

"Something wrong, Mr. Stone?"

"No, ma'am. You got on a pretty, short dress."

"Thank you," she smiled.

"Well, I charge four hundred a day and expenses. I'll be glad to pick up the envelope, and after you dry off a bit; I'd be more than happy to buy you a drink."
