You claimed to be the best, and, by damn, you are.” Beaming a smile, the
CEO of John Zimmerman Industries handed over a bank receipt. “As of an
hour ago, your fee plus the bonuses you chalked up were deposited into
your account.”
“Thank you.” Calder Hudson checked the receipt for accuracy. The
account number was correct, and the amount in front of the decimal point
was on the rosy side of six figures.
“Everything seems to be in order.” Calder folded the receipt and slid it
into the breast pocket of his bespoke suit coat, smiling at the group of
upper-management personnel clustered around him. “It’s been my pleasure,
ladies and gentlemen. May I use JZI as a reference?”
The CEO replied on behalf of those assembled. “Of course, of course.
We’ll provide a glowing review.”
Calder raised an eyebrow. “With an emphasis on discretion.”
There was a ripple of chuckles.
“Goes without saying,” said the CEO.
Calder nodded with satisfaction, thanked them as a group, then, with the
bearing of a cleric doling out blessings, went around the circle shaking
hands with each. He wished them a good evening, picked up his briefcase,
and left the conference room.
As he made his way to the elevator, he kept his stride and carriage
deceptively casual, but inside his head, it was Mardi Gras, baby! and he
was grand marshal of the parade.
It was a long ride down from the top floor of the steel and glass Dallas
skyscraper to the subterranean parking garage, but Calder’s blood was still
fizzing with self-congratulations as he stepped off the elevator and gave
himself a fist pump. His whoop echoed through the near-empty concrete
cavern.
As prearranged, his Jaguar had been left in a first-row, VIP parking slot.
For three months and change, he’d been tooling around in a rental car and
was ever so glad to have his sleek sports model back.
He kissed his fingertips, then tapped them against the roof of the car.
“Hello, sweetheart. Miss me?” He shrugged out of his coat and set it and his
briefcase in the passenger seat, then started the motor, thrilling to the
aggressive growl he’d sorely missed.
He backed out, and, as he took the sharp curves on his climb up the
parking levels to the exit, his tires screeched menacingly. “Badass at the
wheel,” he whispered through a smug grin as he shot out of the garage and
onto the city street.
It was after business hours; rush-hour traffic had abated. But no other
motorist would have dared to get in his way. Not today. He blew through
yellow lights at several downtown intersections before taking a ramp onto
the freeway.
He slid on his sunglasses against the blood orange–red streaks painted
across the sky by the setting sun, then accessed his phone from the steering
wheel.
Shauna answered on the second ring and said, “Helloooo there,
handsome.”
“Helloooo, beautiful.”
“How’d it go?”
