You take an equal chance with the rest of us, or we'll all jump on you." Jack and Husky supported him in no uncertain terms. Joe subsided. "It's agreed, then," said Jack. Shand and Husky nodded.
He was not at all disposed to be severe on Caldigate senior if, as he thought, Caldigate senior had bribed this convenient new witness.
