469 returns to Albuquerque_3

Two neatly folded kraft paper bags were placed into Steven's gym duffel bag, and Jimmy patted Steven's back before returning to his own locker.

Steven turned to look at Jimmy and nodded slightly. He didn't go for a shower either, but instead changed clothes, picked up his duffel bag, and left the locker room.

Watching Steven leave, Jimmy made sure he had exited the main entrance before he let his guard down to take a shower, finally wrapping up one thing that was almost botched.

Back at the hotel, Jimmy put his things down, changed into fresh clothes, and headed straight out, intent on relaxation. A bar was the best bet, but Jimmy didn't dare to go just anywhere, so he asked the hotel staff and with a tip, he got a recommendation for a nearby pub with a good reputation.

The next day, Jimmy packed up to return to Dallas. His business was done and it was time to check in with old man Lambert; he still wasn't sure if Lambert had guessed anything.
