Carefully, Ace lifted the little box out of its thick wrappings and inspected it. Being careful to hold it over the counter, he turned the small key only once and lifted the lid. A brightly tuned melody drifted out. While it only lasted a few seconds, the tune was sweet and had a way of lingering in the ear even after it had faded. Closing the lid, he replaced the little box in its protective case.
"Yes, I think this will do. Very well. One music box for the odds in your favor the next time you find your life on the line."
Spitting into his palm, he held out his hand to shake on it.
