Payment In Kind

The supplier finished unloading the final crate of the product. The buyer's assistant flicked open a switchblade and sampled three bags at random, pouring the powder into three vials, all of them turning blue.

"So you got the cash in a duffle as I requested?"

The buyer didn't answer immediately, instead placing his hands on the supplier's shoulders.

"You are forgiven. Truly forgiven."

Usually this would lead to the person suffering a mental collapse as the weight of all their sins being removed in one go, hence saving on overheads.

But usually the person involved wasn't convinced of their righteousness.
