"Where were you the last little while? I gave you your last target a week ago."
I looked at him and replied simply, not giving any details, "I had a ... personal issue to attend to."
He just looked at me, then at my partner behind me.
"Your next target is a James Thorton. He lives down on Harvey Street. Big reward to see him dead."
He threw a pouch of gold coins onto the table. I nodded, grabbing the pouch, and securing it to my belt, then left. On my way out, I said to my partner, "Remind me of your name?"
