My palms got sweaty just thinking about the jewels, their worth, and the money I was holding. How could I let it out of my grasp when the money I held was a good down payment on the life of luxury I was saving for?

The logical part of my brain kicked in even as I thought of everything I could use the money on. If I wanted Meredith gone and also obtain the jewels, I'd have to let the deal go down and then tell Atrox where she was. There was no other logical choice.

If I stole the money now, she'd become incredibly suspicious and bolt. Meaning I'd never get the jewels or her on the slave planet.

Now that rationality had settled upon me once more, I put the money back in its home. I'd been here too long as it was. I could not afford to be caught because I'd been ogling the cash.
