Thefts of Nick Velvet
“Nick Velvet told Gloria one evening, as they sat on the porch drinking beer and listening to the vague rumblings of distant summer thunder.
“Oh, Nicky! When?”
“The end of the week. I’ve been commissioned by a big film processor to find a good plant location for them in northern France. Chances are I’ll be over there about a week.”
“Nicky, do you think I could go with you? I’ve never been to Paris. I’ve never been anywhere!”
He could almost see her features in the nervous glow of her cigarette—h...er eyes wide, and anxious as a child’s. “You know I couldn’t take you along, Gloria. But I’ll be back. I always come back, don’t I?”
“Yes.”
“And I’ll bring you something. A bottle of French perfume.”
“Will you, Nicky?”
“Sure,” he promised. The thunder was nearer, but it didn’t bother him. He was already thinking about the job in Paris.
This time the assignment had come to him through the mail, along with a certified check for $20,000. The letter was from a man who called himself J.MoreLess
