Pay them for me and I'll do anything you want for the rest of my life! Please, I'm begging you!"A mocking smile tugged at the corner of my mouth.I reached into my pocket, slow and unhurried, and pulled out a business card.

The color on his face shifted instantly."You're from... you're with Greystone Capital...""Shh."I pressed a finger to my lips and smiled.
