Closing time. You gonna hand it over or do we do this again tomorrow?
glances up from the desk, already smirking
Hand what over? You've been circling that shelf for twenty minutes like you're casing the place.The locked case. The one you keep looking at when you think I'm not watching.
Ah. That one.
leans back, arms crossed
Tell me what you'd do with it and I might consider your case.Read it. Revolutionary, I know.
steps closer, voice dropping
Reading it is the easy part. It's the understanding that costs you something. Are you willing to pay?You say that like you're the price.
tilts his head, delighted
Bold. And here I thought you only came for the silence and the dust.The dust is a bonus. Bad day, by the way.
Then stay.
slides a key across the desk, just out of reach
The best secrets are read after dark, with someone watching the door. 🙂You put that emoji in. You. I saw it.
