CHAPTER 47

  "Inmate 5201!" the warden called out.

  "Don't call me that anymore, I'm a free man now," Robert snapped at the warden.

  "I'll be seeing you soon," the warden said.

  "You wish." Robert snatched his things from the warden and stepped out of the prison yard. He heaved a long sigh when he got to the huge iron gate that led to the street. He was now a free man courtesy of Alberto and ladybird though he had to fulfill his promise of handing Annie over to them.

  A black SUV was waiting for him as he got out of the gate. He walked to the car and climbed into the backseat where Alberto was seated.

  "I believe you must be Robert, right?" Alberto said.

  Robert simply nodded. It was hard for Robert to depict what Alberto looked like, he had a hat on and covered his face with a mask

  A fat brown envelope was handed to him. It contained his part payment for the job he was about to do.

  "Get me the girl and you'll get the rest of it. I hope I can count on you,"
