Chapter Twelve- IOUs

Ryder Johnson

                “I’m sure there’s another way—,”

                “No,” I interrupted him, my voice straight to the point. “There isn’t. Do exactly what I told you, and you and you’re wife will be out of harm.” He breathed deeply, pausing for a moment. I, on the other hand, wasn’t going to pace myself.

                “Here,” I handed him a pair of sunglasses and a wig. “Put this on.” Then I headed to his office door and checked out the outside through its window, while adjusting my own wig at the same time. Even though it was my job to do this, Weston tended to show up unexpectedly—whether directly or indirectly.

                When I saw that it was all clear I glanced back at Mr. Frank and saw that he didn’t move at all. A little frustrated, I spoke. “Mr. Frank, I would get moving if you want to live to see tomorrow.” And just like that, he seemed to snap out of his daze. But still, he didn’t move, instead, he just stared at me. I let out an aggravated sigh. “Mr. Fr—,”

                “Why?” He asked, interrupting me. I blinked.

                “Why what?”

                “Why are you doing this?” He asked, raising his hand with the wig I gave him up.

                “Why?” I repeated, as if pondering this as well. At first, my thoughts were scattered. Then they went to Faith.

                I looked back at Mr. Frank, a middle-aged man who was too kind for his own good.

                “Why not?” I said. And with that, his face adopted a look of contemplation before a look of understanding.

                Then I started saving his life.

                “Is it done?” His voice was emotionless as it projected into my ear.
