Cruising along Route 17 in his brand new, cheery-red Ferrari, William Dalgliesh was feeling pretty pleased with himself on this particular Saturday evening.
Having just departed from a black tie, charity event that he single-handedly conceived of, coordinated, and hosted, he couldn't help himself from boasting about the quarter of a million dollars the function had managed to raise in just under three hours flat. "No lie, Hunter," he called out to his cell phone, which was safely secured in its hands-free holder on the glowing dashboard before him, "we raised a little over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, in three hours! That's practically unheard of for this type of organization."
"Damn, Will, that's really something," the deep voice on the other end of the line replied, only after tossing out a long whistle to show their admiration for such an impressive sum. "You should be proud of yourself."
"Uh, yeah, why do you think I'm calling everyone I know, just to rub it...I mean, share my good fortune?" he half-joked, as his bright-green eyes darted between the speedometer before him and the long stretch of painfully quite highway ahead of him, a stretch that was basically tempting him to put his foot on the gas so that he could test out his new wheels. Why go only ten over the speed limit when you could easily go twenty or even thirty?
Yeah. Why the hell not? he thought as he began to apply pressure to the pedal with his gold-tipped, leather dress boot.
"You're such an ass," the voice on the cell blurted, before letting a chuckle slip.
"Yeah, but I'm a successful ass, who just brought in a lot of money," William replied before reaching up with his gloved hand to disengage the call, using the button on his leather-encased steering wheel to do so.
Whether Hunter was finished speaking with him or not, he was done with Hunter. The guy was nice enough, he was, but he wasn't exactly in William's league. Actually, the only reason he spoke to the young entrepreneur was to get him to invest in one of his numerous business ventures, which there seemed to be an ever-growing number of. Not that there was anything wrong with him wanting to stick his finger in as many pots as possible, but at some point, it was all going to catch up with him. If not now, certainly soon enough, or so his alleged friends usually told him.
They're just jealous, was what he often told himself, and what he was even telling himself right now, as he roared down the road, feeling more than a little untouchable, completely unaware that he had just flown by an officer of the law, who sat lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce at just the right moment.
