"How'd you know I didn't tell?"
"Cause you are here and not him. He'd gladly tell me to get the fuck out."
They walked back up to the front by the glass and both gasped at the figure.
"I must have left the door unlock," Cleo surmised. "Isn't that the guy who gave you trouble last time? Want me to handle him?"

He turned his smoky green eyes assessing her generously. His voice was strangely low, but wasn't a whisper. "When do you get off?" His hat was back on his head, but turned the opposite way giving him a boyish look.
"That doesn't concern you."
"It does with my money in your pocket."
"Thirty minutes," she mumbled not at all liking the cool exterior he now exhibited.
