Chapter 29

After comparing the photo to Davie’s face, the man said, “Okay. You two buddies?” That question was for Vin.

“Yeah, we are,” Vin replied.

The man looked around, muttering, “Not much to choose from today. Okay, get in the van. Both of you.”

As they walked over to it, Davie whispered to Vin, “Think we hit pay dirt?”

“Yeah. I already let Carson, or Slade probably, know.” Meaning, Davie was certain, that Vin had pushed the pound key on the phone Carson had given him.

There were already two other guys in the van, the one who had just been hired, plus a man who looked in his mid-twenties. Davie and Vin got in, sitting on the floor like the others with their backs to the wall since there were no seats. The door closed behind them, throwing the cargo hold into darkness except for a bit of light coming in through the doors’ tinted windows. There was a wall without a window between the hold and the cab.
