“I’ll do my best sir, but to be frank we need more then I’m asking for, and we just don’t have the funds to do it right.”
“After this job is done, I’ll ask Quaid to make sure our next one has a better payout. Then we can get all of the repairs done at once, and maybe even look into a few of those upgrades you’ve been asking for. Stick to the essentials for now.”
“Yes, sir.”
This time, when I tried the shower it worked. I let the water run for a moment to make sure it was clean and the temperature was right. The warm water rinsed the drying sweat from my skin. Sometimes I felt like this was the only place I could relax. All of the problems we faced slowly washed away.
All in all, it had been a good day. We were in the air, and would be getting paid shortly. Hopefully, our next job would offer the opportunity to be a little more profitable. Quaid hadn’t let me down yet, but he was just a tad too slimy to put any real faith in. We just needed one job to go our way, and we would be back on track.
