Internal Threat
“A decade ago, this was the moment he would have reached into his pocket and shaken out one of his Camel filtered cigarettes. There was something in the simple act of snapping the lighter to life and the first intake of tobacco hitting his lungs that gave him the clear head he needed to think through things. Of course, he had quit smoking several years ago, right after Julie had left. In the end it did not matter; all the vices that had been his curse were eventually abandoned but far too late t...o make a difference. Yet, he had not gone back to the cigarettes; fresh air was what he worked with now.

He shook off the regret and turned back to look at Matt Weatherly’s house. It was typical of the Hollywood Hills area, from his experience.

Since that time, it had been expanded and remodeled into the modern luxury residence that only a successful person could afford.MoreLess
