Nika always slept after they made love, and normally so did Sam, but he couldnât get his mind off the money. He could get down to Army, check it out, and be back within an hour, and after that heâd get some rest tonight. It had been a long weekend, and it still wasnât even Sunday night.
He got the call that morning. Same time, same station, okay? No, it wasnât, heâd said. The Cruz parking lot was just too stupid. Why run up flags? How about the Coyote Point marina, the old cement dock nobody used anymore? Monday at eight-thirty?
So that was settled, but the money still kept his stomach churning. Heâd just check the office safe and make sure it was okay, then tomorrow would be the delivery and it would be all over.
Heâd tried to reach Alphonse, but nobody was home. That was all right. Alphonse would be in at work in the morning. Theyâd lay out the details of the transfer thenâbut after Fridayâs display, Sam would bring his gun. Couldnât be too careful, he thought.
Nika slept soundly, breathing heavily, uncovered above her waist, one leg out wrapped over the blanket, on her side. Sam ran a hand along her flank as he took a last look at her before heading up to the city, perhaps checking if she was worth all this. He decided she was.
He made it from Hillsborough to the Army Street exit in twelve minutes, then in another three he was at his lot. And there was Lindaâs car.
Overtime? It was possible, though he knew that they had been having their troubles lately. With her there, he knew the money would be safe. He almost turned to drive back home, not wanting to deal with her, to hassle her jealousy.
But he softened. Look at her, sheâs okay, working in here on a Sunday, trying to keep it alive.
Maybe with the new money Iâll take another run at it, he thought. Patch up things with the kid.
He pulled into the lot.
