Now and Forever

Harley quickly explained to the pawnshop owner that the watch was actually a stolen item, but the original owners were willing to pay to get it back. Harley wasn’t surprised when Eugene immediately agreed to the transaction. Fortunately, Harley could afford the amount specified, so he didn’t have to contact his clients to transfer the money to Eugene. He would get his money back later. After that, he and Connor left the pawnshop with the watch in their possession.


“What’s next?” Connor asked, but kept staring at Harley’s shirt pocket where he had placed the watch.


Harley snapped his fingers in front of Connor’s face. Connor gazed straight into Harley’s eyes.


“I think we should bring this watch back to the owners.”


“Yes,” Harley replied. “The sooner, the better. This whole thing is creeping me out.”


Connor’s expression remained flat for a few seconds before he eventually smiled. “Sounds like a great idea. Let’s go.”
