This high-traffic location was their designatedspot

A horde of people already swar their way around Marc, Danijel, and Danijel’s infor his per of a name, plus the fact that the CI had dropped the hood of his work coat and exposed his face, were two key signs that the guy was starting to trust Marc

Of course, the additional five hundred Aiven him in the car hadn’t hurt
