Ben was too taken with the irony of the situation to be angry. They'd researched Sky Lassiters entire history since the day of her birth, which schools she'd attended, the grades she'd received, any violations of the law, her hobbies and ambition to become a dancer, and gained photograph's off the internet, and from school yearbooks. With all that, there'd been no requirement to search for her drivers licence, as to Ben, the job was a simple snatch-and-fly, and they'd only be together for a…
