Poking around the suitcase lining with his pocketknife, Shake quickly discovered the false bottom. Carving out a chunk of fabric, he spotted a cellophane-wrapped bundle. When he got the rest of the material cut away, he discovered bricks of tightly bound currency.

“Look at this s**t!” Shake stepped back to give Wyatt a view. He glanced at Arenas and saw sweat-stains circling his armpits. The money man showed his best friendly smile and nodded at the suitcase.
