“I need a good trustworthy man in Charles
Town. Someone to make sure the supplies
keep flowing, and to make certain such dirtiness as has been done to me in the
past is not repeated. A … uh … private
investigator, you might say. Does that
sound at all of interest to you?”
It took a little while longer for Matthew to
find his voice. “I do appreciate your
offer, sir. I do. But, to be perfectly honest, you and I would
eventually come to blows and our fight might knock the earth off its tilt. Therefore I must decline, as I would hate to be responsible for the death of
mankind.”
(from Speaks The
Nightbird, Evil Unveiled by Robert McCammon)
