NOC agents were generally expected to live on the salaries from their cover identities, so as not to draw suspicion, but often they are given access to funds through other means. Volkmer’s other means were a safe deposit box one town over. In the deposit box were green stacks of bound bills. The box was always full, as if the greenbacks grew there.
But that was one town over and it was snowing, so instead he drove from the high school to his town mall. He purchased the bookstore’s only book about mimes with the crumpled bills left over from his lunch that day. Then he drove his pick-up across town to The Great Plains Bar & Grill, which was actually only a bar, where he ordered a drink and began to read.
