Chapter 6: New delivery

As Remy and Sandra arrived at the shopping mall, Remy's phone rang. He looked at it for a second and saw that Alex was calling again. He sighed as he picked up, “Yes, what is it now?” From the other side of the phone Alex answered, “Hey, where are you currently?” Remy looked at Sandra who was currently looking at him.

He told her to go look for the things on the list for now and he will catch up soon. Sandra nodded and swiftly went to pick out the items on the list. Remy told Alex, “I am currently shopping with Sandra. There is no way in seven hells I will be going to visit Erica's relatives with her.” Remy started walking in the direction Sandra had run off in. Currently he had an annoyed face on as he shuffled through the crowd of people. Alex however started talking, “When will you finish shopping? I have a delivery order for you.”

As Remy heard that, his face turned serious as he asked, “What kind of a delivery order and when?” “Transportation of confidential documents for the government, if you accepted you would be one of the 5 couriers.” Alex said in a serious voice as well. Remy lifted his eyebrows when he heard that.

He answered after a second of thought, “So they are going for the distraction plan with this on. 5 couriers, 5 packages, 5 destinations, no one except for the Giver and Taker know which package is real and which is not.” Alex was quiet for a second before saying, “Yes, that's the plan. Seems like these documents are very important as well if they need to use such a method to transport them. One more thing, for this delivery, being armed is a must.”

When Remy heard that he HAD to be armed, he also understood the severity of this job. Remy let out a sigh as he though to himself, “Why is it that every time Alex offers a job from the government, it ends up being something that will get RPG-s shot at me. Before Remy could answer anything, Alex said again, “The pay out of this job is 150 000 Krones. That shows just how important that job is. So, will I sign you up for it?”

Remy thought for a second and said, “Yea, sure. When do I need to go to pick up the package and where?” An image of Alex smiling formed in Remys mind. Alex just said, “Tonight at 11PM at the city's military base. When you reach the gate just tell them: “I am here for a New Years Toy.” With that they will lead you to where you will be briefed in detail and handed the package.”

Remy just told him okey and exchanged a few pleasantries before hanging up the call. Before Remy had even noticed, he had reach an underwear shop for women. He had been focused on the call so he hadn't noticed that he had followed Sandra in. Now that he was back to reality and took a look around, he was confused. Sandra was already at the counter with a red face and Remy just sighed as he walked over.

Everyone were giving him a weird look as in, “What the hell are you doing in here?” But when they saw that he was paying for Sandra's purchase they eased up and just understood, that Remy was just there to pay for the purchases. However, a lot of people misjudged the two to be couple for doing so.

After getting a lot of mixed gazes of jealousy and admiration from people around, they quickly went and bought everything else on the list. They also bought things to make dinner with later. As they exited the store, Remy looked at Sandra and asked, “Now is there anything else that you need or are we done for today?”

Sandra thought for a second before answering, “That should be all. Thank you so much and I promise to pay you back when I have the means.” Remy just dismissed that. He was not a petty person, so a few hundred Krones here and there didn't bother him.

After all he currently had 600 thousand Krones. Nevertheless, Sandra kept every receipt to pay him back in the future. Over the course of shopping, Sandra and Remy had talked a lot as well, so she had a clearer understanding of the person in front of her. She was grateful towards him for taking her in and accompanying her in shopping as well.

She had also learned that although Remy had been forced to go shopping with her, he had enjoyed it quite a lot as well. He had bought new earphones and a few more things. Remy's cold, distant air had at some point dissipated. He hadn't noticed it himself but currently he wasn't acting as much as he usually did.

He enjoyed the time spent together because it was fun and he had not done something like this for a few years now. It was 8.30PM already when they arrived back at the apartment. When they did, Sandra went to take a shower as Remy went to make more coffee and also dinner.

He needed to be at the military base at 11PM, that meant that he was probably going to be heading out in the night as well. As he was wondering how long he was going to be gone, he suddenly realized, Sandra had no money. That meant that she had no means to buy food with when he was going to be away for a longer period of time. He opened his wallet and saw that he had about 20 krones in cash, so that wasn't going to help.

He gave a wry smile as he was thinking what he was going to do about this. Erica and Alex would kill him if he just left her here without money or food. He realized that he could just wire some money to Sandra's bank account before he left. When Sandra came out of the shower, dinner was ready as well. She went to change clothes before coming to eat.

Over dinner Remy told her that he was going on a delivery and probably wouldn't be back for a few days or more. He also asked Sandra for her bank account number so he could wire some money for food. The food that was currently in stock could last for 3-4 days but since he didn't know anything about this delivery, he couldn't even say when he would be back. It could be a few days, or a few weeks, depending on the destination and the hindrances to the delivery.

He wired 500 Krones to Sandra's bank account, that would theoretically last her for a month if she didn't buy anything too pricey. After doing so, he entered his room and locked the door. He put on his delivery suit. After that was done, he opened his closet and took out a silver suitcase that he put on his bed. He opened it and in it were two Desert Eagle line handguns. He strapped them to his lower back with specialized holsters and also strapped two army knives to his thighs.

The materials that the clothes were made of, were a technological feat. Up to certain calibers, these clothes were bulletproof, provided you were far away enough. The clothes wouldn't help much if a gun was shot at you from at 1-2m but if someone shot him from 4-5m it would just leave a nasty bruise but the bullet couldn't penetrate through his clothes.

However sniper rifle were different. For them, no matter how far away it was, when it hit, the clothes wouldn't help much. When everything were prepared he closed the suitcase and put it back in the closet as he decided it was time to head to the military base. He locked his door and went to put on his boots and jacket as Sandra peeked into the hallway.

Since Remy wasn't used to someone else being there as well, h was startled for a second. Sandra just looked at him and said, “Have a safe trip.” Remy just looked at her and said, “Good bye.”

He took his helmet and went out the door. That situation was something he hadn't encountered since he started living alone. Erica used to say the same thing with the same look when he left to do a delivery. This made him a bit nostalgic. He shook his head to clear it and started moving towards the garage to get his bike.

After filling the tank up again, he headed towards the military base. When he was at the gates, the soldiers on duty saw him approach, they intercepted him, “Halt! This is a restricted area. Civilians are not allowed on the premises.”

Remy just lifted his screen before saying, “I am here for a New Years Toy.”
