I thought he was just one of your men?” He laughed. “He’s his own man. It took my father a long time to convince him to work with us, and if you’ve fucked it up I’m gonna strangle the shit out of you.” Oh. No wonder Allister always looked at me like I was simple-minded when I’d talk to him like he was the help.
