“Because she’s a woman?”
“Hell no. Because I don’t know any of you.”
“You can know this. Julia, she’s got more than two
thousand hours flying choppers.”
Mannie put the Motorola to his mouth. “He’s not
going.”
Julia looked over at me and raised her hands
impatiently.
Mannie grabbed my shoulder and put his mouth
close to my ear. “Do what you feel is right. You got

He looked away, waited, then spoke into the
Motorola.
“Shut her down Jules,” he said, “we change places.”
Then he turned to me. “She drive you back to the hotel
in the limo so you can do your business there. Big pity.
She had a very nice plan.”
“Damn it.” I should know better. “Ok. I’m going”
I ducked slightly and ran to the open door. The
woman helped me, closed it behind me, and ducked
her way over to Mannie.
