It didn’t takethat went over the motel’s hair dryer Cavers was still in the bathroom when I showed it to Raize “Done”

His eyebrows pulled in “There’s nothing in there”

“I don’t have anything to start with”

He gave me a look “What do you have?”

“Two pairs of underwear, one pair of socks, a sports bra, and two changes of clothes”

“Money?”

“Whatever you give me”

He shook his head “That’s it? You don’t have anything extra on you?”

“You’re the only boss that’s paid me”

I stiffened, holding my breath

He pushed so cold and firm into the back of my pants and returned my shirt to its proper place “You sit If he moves at you, you shoot him Got me?”

He glanced around “Where’d they go?”

Also, I didn’t even know if I was lying Raize one for food

He nodded, blinking I noticed the deep bags under his eyes “Good I’ry Mind if I close this so I can take a nap?”

“Raize doesn’t want that closed”
