Do I have to sign an affadavit?"He chuckled. "We're that bad, are we?"You bet your ass you are.

From the very beginning I had felt a definite contact with Yeoman, a kind of tenuous understanding that talk is pretty cheap in this league and that a man who knew what he was after had damn little time to find it, much less to sit back and explain himself.
