Valin approached the newsstand, grabbing a bottle of water from the shelf.

“Hey, boss, give me a pack of cigarettes.”

“Help yourself,” the owner replied without even glancing up from his card game.

The owner gave him a quick look and said, “Two dollars.”

Valin handed over a hundred–dollar bill.

Valin gave an embarrassed smile.
