A chill raced downon you” What a fucking nightmare this had became “I know Tom didn’t want to harm any of us But what other option did he have? He can’t even be sure that the people he cares about are okay This is just so bad and wrong, on more levels than I can even process”

“I’ht still be involved So has to be done about that douche”

We stared at each other as we stood at the sink, fresh towels still in hand as we dried off

I knew precisely what Kyle meant, what he silently iht here in this very spot, in fact

We had a plan It’d been for Wayne’s activity to ascertain the extent of his involve plot last year As Kyle and I both knew the results, knew Wayne’s patterns

“It’s not exactly far-fetched to ‘bump’ into him here in town,” Kyle re pretty close so that he could ers We know his favorite places to hang Cliff Castle Casino being one of them”

“Dane would go through the roof that we’re even talking about this,” I warned Not that I changed the subject “Trying to get a confession out of Wayne would putA left of you” I rolledwith me”

“Goddah no one else was in the rooered close enough to pick up on any scheations and do whatever we could to put an end to the reign of terror

Kyle continued “As stealthy as Dark Knight is, Dane can’t be in five places at once There’s still so et to the hard drive he needs that’s sitting in a safe-deposit box in Switzerland, because he’s supposed to be dead”

“That cover’s pretty ed at my crappy choice of words as ht noas alive With a shake of my head, I said, “We have to stick to whatever plan Dane and A out of whack”

I believed that was the only reason Ah on his threat to shoot Tom in the head The reason Dane hadn’t taken matters into his own hands when he’d had the chance—and the justification—to leave Tom Talbot a bloody mess on our kitchen floor

Kyle kept at our confession-reaping scheme “Even Dane conceded our idea was reasonable when he’d heard of it”

A but also shared our tactic with Dane for goodhe would lay down the law that left no rooressive moves Just follow his and Amano’s lead

He’d be pissed to high hell that we revisited this subject Yet I was pissed, too Had every right to be And I wanted to do so about it
