The man stared down at the laptop, frustration moving through him. Some programs had passwords he had no ability to unlock. Cursing under his breath, he finally figured out where the files of photographs were stored, grateful they weren’t password protected. Scanning through them, he continued to curse as he scrolled through what seemed like a million photographs.
Heavy footsteps walked from another room and stopped just behind him. He tried to ignore the person staring over his shoulder but finally twisted his neck and growled, “Do you mind backing the fuck up?”
“So this was your next brilliant plan? Break into her apartment to steal her laptop? You didn’t think that someone would notice? That someone would call the police?”
He bolted to his feet, nearly knocking his chair over. “At least I’m trying to fix what you fucked up. You know, if you hadn’t been so pissed, this would have never happened. The man would still be alive, and you would never have called me to come here and take care of things. Why don’t you go back and just stay out of my way? I’m not going down because of you!”
Once again, they stared at each other before the other man turned and stomped away. Swallowing deeply, he let out a breath and sat down. As soon as he found the photographs he was looking for, he deleted all of them. Hoping this was the only place they were stored, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the time and scrubbed his hand over his face. As far as he was concerned, he was ready to get the hell out of the area, back to civilization and a place where he was appreciated for what he could do.
