The man got another, smaller box from his jacket. "And here, as you requested, is the pendant. I made it in stainless steel, as specified."He took a p...ndant on a silver chain from the box. The pendant was about the size of a one-euro coin, large enough not to go unnoticed. Ramon looked at it briefly and then handed it to Caroline who inspected it carefully."Excellent," Ramon eventually said. "That's exactly what I wanted." He thanked the man as he lead him to the door."My pleasure," the man. On the other side, I have to make sure not to give hits to Ani that I’m getting ravaged by his brother-in-law.I finally decided to go with the flow and said, “No, that’s okay.

They came up to me in seconds and grabbed me before I could say a word.I realised there was no way out. I knew I didn’t have a change fighting them off, so I thought that it would be safer to cooperate and give.
