Ruby also had to come up with a PIN, username and password for their secure banking app, and four security questions before they could proceed. These elves really didn't mess around.
Cirdan's professionalism slipped only slightly when he saw the check she wanted to deposit. His eyes went wide for a moment before he resumed his neutral mask, asking no questions about where the money came from.
”Our debit cards are with the most common human carrier so you will be able to use it anywhere easily. We don't have ATMs anywhere but our branches located in various parts of the country. However, you can use any ATM with a $2 fee and the daily withdrawal limit is $500. Do you have any questions, Miss Gardner?”
”Yes, do you happen to have branches in Northern California and Alaska?” Ruby asked.
The elf nodded. ”Indeed we do. We have branches located near most witch covens in the United States. They will be able to direct you to your nearest branch.”
Something else occurred to her. When she gave Ash his money he would need to be able to hide it from the human government too. ”Do you have extended hours in the evenings? I have a vampire friend who needs to make an account but he's asleep right now.”
Cirdan pursed his lips. ”Normally we operate during typical banking hours so we do not alert the humans unnecessarily but I can make an exception for a VIP. You can bring him by at seven tonight. I will be waiting for you.”
Ruby smiled brilliantly at him. ”Thank you very much Mr. Etchelion! I'll see you tonight.”
They shook hands again and he showed her the way out. Perfect. Now all she needed to do was make some money to put in Ash's account tonight.
She didn't know how much he would need but because it was so easy for her to make money she figured she could be generous. She already had a ton in her account; the rest of the jewels in the back of her car could go to him.
Come to think of it…Ruby should probably ask him exactly how much he needed. He didn't have to specify what it was for but she needed an idea of exactly how many gemstones she would have to extract while they were both here.
She would ask him later. For now she had a jeweler to impersonate and pieces to sell. Since she had nothing else planned for today, she went in and out of the appraiser's multiple times in different disguises to get rid of as many pieces from her sack as possible.
In the end she had a small stack of checks that equaled roughly $1.2 million. She got a good haul today; the sack was nearly empty by the time she was done.
Ruby had accidentally skipped lunch though in her rush to get rid of as much jewelry as possible. Her stomach growled and she figured it was time to hit a famous Las Vegas buffet. She rubbed her hands together in anticipation and headed back to the Strip.
