She put on her leather gloves and checked her watch. Headlights appeared in the rearview mirror, blinding her for a moment. Mira put her hand on the side pocket of the door and waited.

Fritz got off the plane and walked to the train station, His dark Brown leather briefcase was filled with ten thousand dollars, that's all he could travel with safely without being detained at the airport, Fritz checked the lock on the case to make sure it was locked securely, he waited and an extra ten minutes for his contact to arrive, when he saw the black limo arrive he got right in, the driver handed him the black envelope , the contents inside were precious, he reached for something else with his hand still in the back of the seat, the driver let the electric window down more to accommodate the size of the package, Fritz opened the briefcase and placed the package inside and closed it. The driver was always on time, Fritz never had to question him about anything after Twenty minutes later they pulled up behind Mira she was never in the same car, and the vehicle she drove was always new with a dealer advertisement plate, always luxury. Edmond pulled right behind her, Fritz put one hand on the case and the other on the door.
