Paper dealers

The big guy, pumped like a bouncy castle, frisked me with heavy hands. "Can't be too careful" Zhou purred, his hands clenched behind his back. "$%^&ing paper ninjas are everywhere these days". Perhaps this was a bad idea i thought as i was ushered down some splintered wooden steps into a small basement. The door clicked behind me like a start gun making me jolt and hit my head on the low ceiling. Zhou turned around and flashed me a toothless grin. He reached down pulling out a drawer at the bottom of the planchest. "mmmm my precious" he said running his hands over a piece of paper as if it was a prize stallion.
