When he could breathe again he also started sweating, and cheap louis vuitton handbags the numbness wore off enough for a sharp pain to knife through his stomach. He was dizzy so he closed his eyes, and when he opened them and looked at the picture again, it was shaking.

There was a table he wanted in the window, and when it was available he locked the Audi and went inside. From the table, he guarded his car, fifty feet away and stuffed with three million in cash.
     Because of the aroma, he guessed that grease was the cafe's specialty. He ordered a burger and on a napkin began scribbling his chanel bags sale options.
     The safest place for the money was in a bank, in a large lock box behind thick walls, cameras, etc. He could divide the money, scatter it among several banks in several towns between Charlottesville and Clanton, and leave a complicated trail.
