On The Trident Bridge, Zoe Rhodes watched the scenery rushing past outside the window and suddenly felt the urge to jump out of the car.

"Who said I want money?"
"Didn't you say I could afford what you want? I only have a little over a million left on me. If you want it, I won't haggle. It's all yours."
'I'll just have to apologize to Zane Hawthorne later. I need to save my own skin first!'
"Then, once we reach Veridia on the other side, you can just drop me off at the police station."
'Over a million for a single ride? He'd be making a killing!'
'It's not a bad deal for him.'
Donovan propped his head up with one hand, finding her foolishness endearing.
