Cripes, he knew that fellow when he knocked about with the Push, and now he was rolling in money! And with the sudden impulse of a suicide who throws himself under a train, he stepped up to Jonah.
I can make it worth your while to listen to me," he added, significantly. "Cripes, I smell money," laughed Jimmie. "Go on with the boy," Ned replied. "If you want to talk with me you may do so later." "What are you going to do with me?" "Turn you over to the Zone government."
