His expression wasbleak. “I do know that. I’m not going to surrender.” Hemulled issues over inside his head. “I ought to attain out to theguy, try to get him on my aspect.”

“It’dhelp if you happen to referred to as him by his title. He occurs to be fiercely loyalto her.”

“I get that. Andhe hates me.”

“That a lot istrue.”

“Yeah.” Hegave a hole giggle. “I’m going to want his quantity.”
