Gold Hill

by Christian, Claudia Hall

  “Where are we going?” the beautiful woman asked.

  “Paris,” the man said.

  “Really? Paris?” The woman’s voice was so sweet that U.S. Marshal Jasper couldn’t help but smile. “But I don’t have a passport and I didn’t pack anything.”

  “I have it,” the man leaned over to kiss her again. “A present from some of our friends.”

  He gave her the passport. She opened it and leaned over to kiss him again. The U.S. Marshal’s car jerked and shuddered with increasing violence. It was a good thing the car was so heavy or Aaron Alvin might have tipped it over.

  “I don’t care if you’re naked all week,” the man said. “You?”

  She kissed him. They kissed for a while before he leaned back against his seat to catch his breath.

  “Are we really going to Paris for a week?” the woman asked.

  “Unless you want to stay longer,” he said.

  “I don’t know,” the woman said. “Do I have to decide now?”

  “We can decide when we’re there,” the man said. “But we’d better get going or we’ll miss our flight.”

  With that, he backed the Thunderbird out of the parking space. He waved to U.S. Marshal Jasper and took off out of the parking lot.

  “That’s so sweet,” U.S. Marshal Kowalski set a cup of coffee in U.S. Marshal Jasper’s hand.

  “Yeah,” U.S. Marshal Jasper said. “Nothing beats real love.”

  “Nothing at all,” U.S. Marshal Kowalski looked at their car. “You think our prisoner hurt himself?”

  “You care?”

  “Don’t want to have to clean up the mess,” U.S. Marshal Kowalski said.

  “I guess we better go see,” U.S. Marshal Jasper cast one last look in the direction of the Thunderbird and walked to their car.
