What a Way to Make a Livin'
“And people really do this every day?” Parker asked, ducking back down under the edge of the cubicle divider as someone rounded the corner with a metal cart full of mail.
“Oh, yeah,” said Hardison, in her earwig. “For years.”
Parker couldn’t quite suppress a shudder. “Years,” she moaned, then straightened, a fake smile lighting her face so quickly it would have been frightening, if anyone would have seen it. “Good morning, Mr. Emmerson.”
“Morning, Paula,” replied their mark. “Hold all my calls, will you?”
“Absolutely, sir,” she said, then hissed, “Please tell me Sophie is ready? I can’t take much more of this.”
“Just hang in there, mama,” Hardison said, and tried not to laugh.
THE END
