Today’s theme: Secrets.
“Can you keep a secret? Even from the cops?”
“Depends.” Roger shrugged. “Depends on the money involved, the risk, and whether I think the world would be better off with the cops knowing about it. That last doesn’t happen often, but it sometimes does.”
The man in the rumpled suit bit his lower lip, then nodded. He leaned over the desk toward Roger. His breath was old. He whispered four words.
Roger wasn’t sure when he’d stood up, let alone when he’d fired his gun.
The man looked up at him from the floor and smiled. “Now — it’s yours to keep.”
Roger shot him again.
