Eddie looked wary but walked over to the checkout counter and laid the case of jewels on top.

"Okay," Eddie said as he popped the clasps on the leather case and opened the lid, "there's an assortment of jewels in here. All fake but good quality reproductions. The diamonds won't cut glass but maybe it'll fool Gallagher long enough for us to pull off this suicide mission."

"Look," Max said, "I really appreciate everyone doing this."

"Who the hell are you?" Eddie asked.

"Sorry," I said, "this is Max Dolan, the girl's father. And this is his friend Pete Nelson."
