Oh, how exciting! Another brand new never-before-seen chapter!
Enjoy.
Monique headed to Albany and passed a tall, skinny kid not dressed for the weather walking about a mile north of town and checked her rearviews. “That’s the kid Martin has working for him.” She pulled over and lowered the passenger window when he caught up. “You’re John, right? I met you in Martin’s store a few days ago, didn’t I?”
He stood by the door.
“I can’t hear you if you’re talking and I can’t see your head if you’re nodding. You John, yes or no?”
He bent over to reveal a bad haircut and a few bristles of ginger mustache. “Yes, Ma’am.”
“Where you heading?”
“Albany.”
“Walking?”
“You offering a ride?”
“Aren’t you cold dressed like that?”
He shrugged.
“Get in. Just Albany in general or a particular place?”
“You know the Radio Shack downtown?”
“How you getting back?”
He shrugged again.
“I’ve got business’ll take me an hour. That enough time for you to get whatever you’re doing done?”
“You offering a ride back?”
“Be where I drop you off in an hour and I’ll give you a ride back.”
An hour plus a little she saw him shivering outside the Radio Shack holding a big paper bag like it contained gold.
She nodded at the bag as he got in. “You can put that in the backseat. Or is it lost treasure and you don’t want anybody else touching it?”
