calls, just nothing. I was just beginning to like it too when the door opened and a a head full of slick orange hair warped in. It was on a man wearing a new flannel suit, a hand-paded tie and a reckless grin.

He shoved the telephone out of his waist, sat down on the corner of my desk and sized me up with a pair of careful gray eyes. Got a proposition for you, Laddie. Tell me about it.

Let you know if I'm interested. You should be. There's good money in it. It's not always the answer, go ahead. You got a good car? Good enough. I don't keep it in the office. You like Mexico?

Look, is this a social call or a quiz program? This is business, I asked you a question. Yeah, I like Mexico. I don't like you. Oh, that's good. Because you're gonna drive a couple of friends of me down there.
