The Front
The Front
“Raising latent fingerprints on paper isn’t the sure thing depicted on all those cop shows, and in the real world, this bank robber has yet to leave a useful clue. She stops what she’s doing as she hears a car pull up. Then her cell phone rings.
“It’s me.” Win’s compelling baritone voice. “You giving tours? I’m outside your big-ass truck.”
She pulls off her latex gloves, opens the tailgate. He climbs up the steps, squints in the bright lights as she lets him in, shuts the heavy doors, slam-dunks... the used gloves in the trash, yanks a new pair out of a box.
“How did you know I was here?” she asks.
“You had a bank robbery today. Remember?” He moves close to the countertop where she’s working. “And let me see. You aren’t at your shop. So I called your dispatcher and asked where I might find you.”
“You’re offensive and presumptuous, and I’m not amused.” Pulling on the latex gloves, having a bit of a struggle with them.
“What you got here?”
If there’s one thing she detests, it’s a guy who’s so perfect, he looks like a friggin’ Calvin Klein underwear ad and, if that’s not annoying enough, assumes he can charm the birds out of the trees.MoreLess
