October 2011-
The cabbie sighed as his last passenger of the day waved goodbye and ended what had been a very long be fair 'waved' would be a overstatement. Henry was pretty sure that there was something dodgy about the guy he had just gave a lift too- he was too pale and seemed extremely bald. Henry snorted- he wasn't sure how someone could be 'extremely' bald, it's usually a case of you are or you ain't, but, there was just something about that guy that you couldn't of ever of pictured him with hair. The way he talked as well, there was definitely something odd about his voice, not like any accent Henry had ever heard before, Not that he had said much.
But a customer is a customer...Especially when they tip a small fortune.
He wasn't exaggerating either. In his hand lay 50 hundred dollar bills. One would of done the trick. He rifled through the crisp banknotes, checking they were real. Hmm... they all seemed real, although he was no expert. Getting near the bottom of the pile there was a piece of paper, folded up all nice and neat. He unfolded it-
"Make sure the child is safe."
He turned it over and over in his hand but that was all that was written.
What the hell? What child?
A small cry from the back seat answered his question. Turning around he saw a baby. He let out a low nervous laugh.
That certainly hadn't been there before.
