James looked at his watch. Just on time. He'd promised Catherine that he would be there, right then...
"So, just what the hell were you doing in Rheinland?" Catherine's voice, smooth as her skin and soft as her hair, was somehow as sharp as a knife in the back when she really wanted it to.
"Well, funny you should ask. It's made me a lot of money but also sent a lot of uncomfortable questions my way," said James, trying to keep as quiet as possible about is new-found 'source of income'.
"You were smuggling, weren't you? Let me guess... Diamonds?"
"Dresden to Colorado. It's a long run without using trade lanest going across the border but it does make a tidy profit,"
"Well, who am I to complain? My parents used to do a Cardamine run, from Malta to Manhattan. The police didn't bother them much, but... " Catherine hesitated. "Hey, you know you asked if I needed anything?" said Catherine, putting her arms around James' waist.
"Yes, babes?"
"There's something that isn't sold in Rheinland, but moves about Sirius, not doing much..." And with that, Catherine gave James a deep, passionate kiss and dragged him off to their room.
