He suddenly recalled that painting. It had made him rich overnight. He hoped that the robbery case was now closed by the police. This was the exact scenario. He could visualize the signature of the artist, J. Ottoman in a slanting calligraphic font.
“Yeah, you remember right. That’s me – Ottoman”.
The man behind him looked scary and …. blood-thirsty.
