IT was a slow day at the gold refinery, so I convinced them to let me show Ian the process as they refined the first bit of our gold.

There was something mesmerizing about watching the molten liquid in process. Ian seemed to think so, too.

After we'd seen the first gold bar come out, we left to grab lunch. By the time we returned, the gold was ready, and we sold them the excess metals we weren't interested in. Ian helped me load the bars into the car's hidden compartment and we headed back to the safehouse.

On our way back down I76, Artie's voice came over our radiophones. "Can't find the right parts at LKQ." His voice shook as my heart lost its calm cadence.

Ian gave me a puzzled look. "Was that really necessary?"

I nodded and trapped him in an intense stare. "It means they're in trouble."
