The bike messenger parked his bike on the busy sidewalk outside a small office building and walked inside, a fat manila envelope in his hand. Ballcap pulled low and mirrored aviators covering his eyes, his only real distinguishing facial feature was the jet black beard he'd grown.
He smiled at the receptionist and flirted with her for a moment before holding up the envelope and asking which office it needed to be delivered to.
