As fast as he could blink Ingrid had a knife under his chin and pusheduntil he had to lift his heels. "Ya" she said, "I...am...thebitch...in...charge... and with each word she backed off and then pressedthe knife upward. "Do you have the money?"Cowed by her aggressiveness, he toned down his words and said, "I do, butI need to see the goods first."Smiling, she made the knife disappear as fast as it had been drawn andturned towards the van.

We’ve both had plenty and I’m going home.”“Yeah. We certainly swallowed plenty tonight! Ha Ha Ha!”“Sshhh!
