“What would be the fun in that?” I asked, turning my back on them.

“Wait!” Cash stopped me. “You said this is all about the gold. Now, everyone that was after that woman is dead and there’s no one to corroborate your story.”

“Yeah, that sounds about right.”

“Then how do we know you’re telling the truth about any of this?”

I grinned, shoving my hand into my pocket, feeling the hard metal in my hand. It probably would be better if I let things die right here with me, but then Cash would never trust me. Some things just weren’t meant to stay a secret.

“You’re absolutely right, Cash.” I pulled the coin out of my pocket and flipped it to him with a smirk. As I walked away, I could envision the wonder on their faces as they stared down at the only piece I’d kept for myself.

I didn’t need to see their reactions. I could hear it in their voices as I strolled to the exit in satisfaction.

“Is that…”

“Aztec gold.”
