openers.â Letâs see⦠the Nob Hill to SOMA jump will give me enough time, but Pac is safer for her. âGet out the one with a 4 on it. In eight blocks, weâll drop out of sight.â
She is already fishing out the small devices and holding them up to see the numbers. âWhat then?â she asks as she finds the right one and replaces the others. I cut the lights and slow enough to cause no noise, not answering as I scan for signs of pursuit or someone watching.
âPunch it now.â I instruct as I turn into the safe house. âWeâll
get you away from me, make sure Iâm clear, then get to a safe area.â I lurch to a stop, kill the engine, and turn to her. âStill want to know my secrets?â
âHell, yeah!â She makes me smile with pleasure at her attitude. I do believe weâll be at it again in the near future.
âAs youâve guessed, this car is hot. Iâve had considerable driving trainingâfar more than Average Joe Copper.â
âSo tell me something I donât know.â
âYouâre incredibly beautiful when youâre excited.â She presses against me, biting my neck playfully before drawing me into a passionate kiss.
âGlad you think so.â
âDonât have much time before I have to get this work of art to a safe place. Perhaps if I get your number we can talk more later?â She drags up her small purse from the floorboard and digs through it, handing me a card. âSecretary, eh?â
âFor now,â she answers, getting out when I do. âIf you donât call me, Iâm gonna be pissed.â
I laugh. âKate, only way Iâd not call you is if you told me you hated me and never wanted to hear from me again. Wish we had more time tonightâ¦â
âI understand, really. Youâll just make it up to me later. So, what happens to her?â She drags her hand along the spoiler as she walks to me.
âSheâll go to a new owner far awayâone willing to pay forty or fifty grand. Now to get you home, Iâllââ
âDonât worry about itâIâll call my friend to come get me.â
âAh, cool. Do me a favor of walking a few blocks before calling, soââ
âHold on,â she interrupts. I wonder what sheâs doing until she slips off her wet panties and hands them to me. âFor luck.â Then she kisses me for that last brief moment of heaven before
turning. I will never forget the look of her ass moving away in that short denim skirt, and knowing her smooth pussy is bare.
I open my mobile and hit speed dial.
On the third ring: âYo.â
âHey, coz, itâs sunny.â
âExcellent.â
âNeed a report from number four.â
âAs good as done.â We stay in contact as he leads me in, away from the patrol reports. Her panties are good luck; even if the cops werenât busy with more important matters than a PDA runner, theyâd have guided me home.
âYou dumb fuck!â He shouts into my shit-eating grin as I get out of the Lotus. âNo way can we off-load a unique car like this.â
âItâs a Lotus, cozâa work of art.â You ignoramus.
âI donât give a fuck what brand it is.â He kicks the tire in frustration. âThey are all the âGet-Fuckedâ brand as far as Iâm concerned.â Funnyânow that you mention it, I did get fucked on it. But I sigh and proceed in a calming, rational voice.
âCars disappear all the time to wealthy Mexicans; this one is no exception.â
â Bullshit ! Not with this price tag; theyâll trace it.â
âUmm, coz? This car costs sixty grand, loaded.â
âBullshit.â But the wind is out of his psycho-righteous sail.
âGone are the days you have to spend a hundred and fifty grand for a great ride.â
âHmm.â
âTry it,â I urge.
