Rush
Music thumped through the speakers, loud enough to make the entire
room tremble. I didn’t mind. I liked when it was so loud it drowned out
every ounce of noise both inside and outside of my brain. The techno beat
thrummed through my body, sending tingles over my skin. I blew a massive
bubble with my gum and popped it with my tongue so that it made a loud
smack! It was the small things in life that brought me joy. Right now, it was
good music, a joint, and my laptop.
I raised my head and glanced over the top of the monitors. The door was
still firmly closed. I wasn’t allowed to lock it, but that was okay. If there
was one thing I was good at, it was shutting down all my projects with the
click of a button.
I clicked on the account before me and stared at all the numbers. Renato
had given me the routing information, it was simply my job to move the
money from… well whoever owned this account, to his. As I pulled up the
box, a cursor blinking rapidly, I cracked my fingers and got to work. It
didn’t take long to drain the account. By the time I’d moved it all to
Renato’s, not a trace of the transaction could lead back to us.
Checking the door again, I ignored the rush of blood to my ears as my
heart beat faster. It always happened right about now, no matter how many
times I did this. I pulled up the other account, checked the numbers and
siphoned off a chunk of what was going to Renato to myself.
He wouldn’t notice it, he never did. Besides, I was transferring him three
hundred thousand. All I was taking was the additional twenty on top. It was
barely noticeable, a blip in the system. Seeing as how my husband knew
dick about computers anyway, I didn’t worry. Mostly.
Thank God, he’s so paranoid. If there were cameras in here, I’d be dead.
Renato refused to have them in his house. He was convinced it would
fall either into the hands of people who wanted him dead or the cops. And
he was right, security was a double-edged sword. He couldn’t see me, but I
couldn’t see him either. That always put a lump in my throat.
My fingers flew faster as I tried to get things settled. I picked up a pen,
drumming it against the desk before I grabbed my joint and took a long,
slow inhale. My lungs filled with smoke, the acrid taste of burnt paper
lingering on my tongue even as the weed soothed my nerves. Just like that,
I was surrounded by a cloud, protected from the ugly, harsh world outside
while I floated away, serene and calm. I couldn’t fully enjoy it; that would
mean I had to let down my walls. Drop the shield that protected me. That
would never happen.
“All right,” I mumbled. “You’re transferred. This is complete.”
I checked my to-do list for the day that I had scribbled down on the
notepad beside me. Renato kept me busy.
