He confirmed the amount and then Francine got back on the laptop and started hitting keys. A minute later, the transaction complete, Francine said, “Nice doing business with you, Mr. Trask.”
“Can you do anything about this shit floating around on the internet?”
“Yes I can. And I will, right away.”
“And there was another woman. She went to see my father. She was looking for this stuff, too.”
“Well, you snooze you lose. And since you have your money back plus a nice little bonus, if I were you, I’d forget about her.”
“I think you’re right.”
Francine shook George’s hand. “Nice working with you, George.”
“You too.”
“Let’s grab a coffee some time.”
He smiled and nodded, and Francine felt her heart quiver, because she knew George was probably now a dead man.

The golf cart took her to the gate, where she walked quickly off.
She went into a store, did a costume switch in the bathroom using clothes and a wig she had previously hidden there, and walked out through another exit.
Four blocks later she climbed into a white van.
Three stern-looking representatives of the FBI stared back at her as they sat in front of a bank of computers, along with Gibson, who was smiling.
Francine said, “I take it you were you able to follow the entire transaction after I put the keystroke tracking software on?” she said.
“Oh yeah,” said Gibson. Then her smile faded when she saw the bruises on Francine’s face, and how her right arm was hanging funny. “Shit, those assholes beat you up.”
“I’ve been hit a lot harder, trust me.”
“We got every line of code’s worth,” said one of the men. “And access to all his accounts. That was good work. You took a big risk going in there naked like that.”
“Well, it makes life interesting.”
Another agent looked at Gibson. “We could use people like you two.”
“Quite frankly, I don’t think you can afford us,” said Francine, causing Gibson to hold back a snort.
Francine climbed out of the van and kept walking.
A few moments later Gibson joined her. “Are you sure you’re okay?” she asked.
“I’m fine.”
“That was really brave what you did.”
“It was necessary to get to the end result.”
“You always this transactional?”
Francine stared directly at her as she wiped more blood off her lips. “Welcome to my world.”
“I’m starting to figure you out, you know.”
