Panther looked from me to Stanfield before he shot him a dismayed look. “I’ll be in the car, Marvin.”

I waited until Panther was out of sight, and so did Stanfield.

“Don’t worry, I’ll deliver the message, just like you’ve asked me to, Stanfield told me. “It’s your last request, so I’ll do you a favor.”

“Thanks.”

anymore.

I reached for the letter I had written just several hours ago and scanned through it one last time. I was surprised by my words, but they were sincere.

Hi Lena,

bittersweet news. It seems like luck was on my side because by the time you’ll be getting this. I’ll officially be a free man.
