"I can certainly bring you something that might be of use and hopefully finalize this. If you decide against the idea given what information I present later, I still hope to get something of  equal worth back afterwards." She added, not willing to be taken advantage of in any way. "Regardless, I should be going. Thank you for taking the time to talk with me as well as for the name." She gave a quick pat to her pocket where the slip of paper was.

Ray gave a lazy wave on her way out, hopeful that this deal would go through. {FINISHED} r a y The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. —Albert Camus
