It didn’t matter where his partner was. We would have a “moment”. Hovering slightly outside and above myself, my body exited the car, calculating the probabilities. Someone was at the counter, leaving as I entered. Another moved to the back of the store; probably to the coolers. I stood in front of Zudow.

Opus had a habit of doing that. Saying things that he didn’t know anything about...
