Chapter Three

I sat on a bench in the park, agitated as fuck because I was tired as hell. Three hours sleep was torture, even for one with as much stamina as I had. I checked my watch for the third time, it was five minutes to seven. I probably wouldn’t be as tired if I hadn’t had to get up at five forty-five in the fucking morning to be able to make it to this meeting in time. I really should have charged them double the amount they were paying us.

At seven, I watched an older gentleman in a dark business suit and hat walk towards me. He took a seat on the bench and smiled in my direction. If this was my contact, I hoped he didn’t ask for some stupid ass secret word, because I didn’t have any.

“Mr. Tanner told me that you have our property,” he said without looking at me.

Mr. Tanner, I smiled to myself. Jordan’s fake name. I guess I shouldn’t make fun of him and his aliases. If I was going to go through with this crime-fighting life choice, then I needed to come up with an alias of my own. Anyway…

I nodded. “Do you have the money?” I asked, hoping this guy wasn’t going to try to pull a stunt. It was early as fuck and I wasn’t on my game completely, but I would still kill the shit out of him if he tried to screw us over.

He reached into his coat and I tensed. “Relax,” he said, then removed a white piece of paper, extending it to me.

I took it and looked at the series of numbers on it. “What the fuck is this?” I asked.

“Give that to Mr. Tanner and the money will be transferred into your account,” he explained.

“I was under the impression we’d be receiving money,” I said.

“That wasn’t the deal we made with Mr. Tanner. Go on, contact him,” the man replied.

Ugh, I didn’t like this kind of bullshit. I was expecting a fucking envelope with cold, hard cash in it…preferably small bills. “You’ll have to forgive me if I’d like to confirm the transfer went through before I relinquish your package.”

“Of course. We’re on the up-and-up,” he reassured me.

“We’ll see,” I said. Then reached into my pocket, pulling out my cell, and called Jordan.

He answered. “Did he give you the transfer information?” he asked me in an excited tone.

“Yeah,” I deadpanned. It took a lot for me not to roll my eyes at this point. “Are you ready?”

“I am, give me the numbers.”

I rattled them off and waited to hear back from him if it went through. About a minute later, he gave me the confirmation and I hung up. “Looks like everything went according to plan,” I said, pulling the flash drive out of my pocket and handing it over to the man.

“Thank you. Now, before you leave, you don’t mind if I check to see if this is what we’ve just paid for?”

“It better
