    About this ebook

    Living on the run is a hard grind.

    Even when you decide to hide in a tropical paradise it wears you down.

    Getting off that treadmill is tricky and sometimes you need outside help.

    Sherry Proper is willing to do a lot to change her fugitive status, but she needs to have something to offer.

    A meeting in a beach bar with a man who wants to bring down one of her enemies might give her that chance.

    If she can give him what he wants, or make him think she can.

    A short story. A transition.
