Ed was too frightened to open the boot. The banging from inside could indicate the end of his job, but there were also plenty of scenarios that would lead to deportation back to England, jail, or worse.
He shifted through his options as he searched up and down the empty street. Finally, with his maglite in hand, he pushed the button on his keychain and jumped back.
As the jackal darted out and ran into the ditch, Ed cursed. He’d been ordered to stay silent. This was his last warning. No amount of money would be worth what came next.
This story is meant to demonstrate suspense, the topic of today’s post over at The Chaos Factory.
