“Sorry, I’ll get cash from him.”

“Checks for drugs.” What was the world coming to? Next, his dealers would want him to supply them credit card machines.

“Wasn’t planning on it.”

The Emerald Avenger watched Timmy leave from the roof. He peered through the wall like his favorite comic book hero. Finally, Night Lord had gone to bed. The Emerald Avenger checked his watch. Four thirty a.m.

He eyed the armed guards and the steel door. He had to return to the normal life of Dave Johnson for a few hours, but he would come back with a vengeance.
