Assassination Attempt

Half an hour later, Lucas heard a chopper. It was nearing, and he knew that it was time to go. He nodded towards the old woman.

"You have been a gracious host. I have never seen anyone who was this accommodating. Thank you for letting me come inside. You saved me quite the bit of time. For your help, this is a gift." Lucas said as he put down a roll of bills on the table.

The old woman looked at this stack of bills and her eyes widened.

She shook her head to refuse, but Lucas did not even listen to her anymore. He opened the door and stepped into the cold and windy desert outside. He closed the door and looked at the helicopter in front of him. 

It was landing, and there were only two people within. They looked at Lucas, and knew immediately that he was the one that they had come all the way here to pick up. The helicopter came rushing down, and it dipped towards Lucas.
