Dropping the CD out of the plastic bag, he popped out the disc, then cleaned both the inside and outside of the plastic case with window cleaner. Carefully lifting the disc back up with a paper towel, he placed it back inside its plastic case, then dropped it inside a plain paper sack.Opening a cabinet, he pulled out a traveling coffee mug, washed it with soap and water, scouring both the inside and out, carefully screwed the top back, and placed it next to the CD inside the paper sack, along with a paper towel.Moving quickly down the hallway, he walked into his study, closed and locked the door behind him, then, climbing onto his desk, he reached up to one of the exposed beams. He pushed a knot in the wood until he heard the telltale click, a small panel popped open, and he reached inside to retrieve a canvas sports bag. It only took seconds to find what he was looking for, then he pushed the bag back into its hiding place.Stepping off his desk, he took a minute to examine the contents of the small, black leather pouch he’d retrieved.
