“Alright the coast is clear. Let’s get these boxes unloaded,” said Rufus.
They were parked in front of a metal door at an outdoor storage unit. Rufus got out of the car and unlocked the padlock.
The woman in the backseat stretched out and yawned before getting out to help Rufus unload the back of the Mercedes.
“Thanks, hon. Just put everything on the left hand side,” said Rufus.
“Aye, aye, sir,” she said and mock saluted.
She motioned with her hands and the boxes flew slowly out of the back of the Mercedes and packed themselves neatly along the side of the storage unit.
“Hey, be careful with that stuff,” said Rufus.
“Why? Nobody’s here. What’s the big deal?”
“Yeah, you’re right. Just being cautious,” said Rufus.
“So says the man who plasters his name and likeness all over a host of internet groups,” said the woman snidely.
“That’s business- you know that,” replied Rufus.
“Yeah, selling illicit drugs on eBay stuffed into My Little Pony dolls,” said the woman.
“Hey, they are ponies and not dolls,” said Rufus defensively.
The woman laughed.
“Plus I won’t have to do that much longer,” said Rufus.
“So there must be good stuff in these boxes. What is it this time? Microdoses of LSD in gummy worms?”
“Very funny. No it’s not. Now let’s go,” said Rufus.
“But what are we going to do now?”
“What do you mean?”
“We had two cars following us. It’s just a matter of time before someone figures out what is going on,” said the woman.
“I’ve been really careful,” said Rufus.
“Okay, Mr. Rainbow Sherbert. Discretion personified,” said the woman.
