Kaleb curled his lips. He took a glance at the suitcase before saying with a smile, "Mr. Roberts, you and I are old friends. I trust you, of course."

He looked at me as he said that. It was just a glance, but I understood immediately.

Before we'd arrived, Tiago had asked me to be on a lookout for a chance to snatch the suitcase.

After a moment's hesitation, I stood up and stretched out my hand to grab it.

A large palm suddenly caught hold of my hand, as soon as I touched the case. My senses went a little haywire as I felt that familiar rush of warmth.
