Jerry’s expression hardened. “What do you want?”
“How long will it take to transfer the money into the account?”
“Two days,” Jerry said, his eyes turning into slits of hatred, because he could feel what was coming next.
“Two days…” Randy pegged him with a hard stare. “I can’t wait two days, Jerry. I need money today. Now.”
“I don’t have that kind of money just lying around the house,”’ Jerry nearly shouted.
“Did I ever tell you that I don’t like when people yell at me, Jerry?” Randy said in a deadly calm tone that bespoke his anger more effectively than if he had screamed the words. He paused a moment to regain his thoughts. “I’m out of cash. I need food, gas, those sorts of things.”
Jerry jerked his wallet from his pocket. Pulling out a hunk of cash, he thrust it in Randy’s face. “Here. That’s all I’ve got on me.”
Looking mighty pleased, Randy grinned and accepted the money. “Wow, Jerry, how kind of you to offer. You didn’t have to do that,” he said, stuffing the wad into his jeans pocket. Getting to his feet, Randy strode to the door. “Make sure you call your friend and get him on it. I want Terri found, the sooner, the better.”
“Sure,” Jerry agreed solemnly. “And I’ll put in for the transfer tonight.”
“See that you do. Oh and, Jerry,” Randy said, almost as an afterthought. “Tell your wife I said hello.” Grinning, Randy opened the door and stepped out into the sunshine. As he climbed into the truck and settled himself behind the wheel, he soaked in that rare slice of serenity that came with knowing that all your best laid plans were finally about to come to fruition.
