Dating fearful women
Would you like me to? Chanson? Certainly not. He got his start, as I said, about ten years ago in what was then a rather ripe field. His specialty was supplying certain government agencies and private industry with competent, middle-management executives. As I said, Chanson is a head-hunter. However, he specialized in supplying his clients withblack middle-management executives. He did extremely well, or so I understand. Later, when the womens movement — uh — burgeoned, shall we say, he supplied his ever-expanding list of clients withfemale middle-management executives and, recently, or so the rumors have it, hes been doing rather nicely by coming up with executives who are both blackand female. Someone who specializes in finding just the right person to fill hard-to-fill jobs. In fact, the one that Im thinking of was the one who somehow located those two hundred guys that the unions hired. His names Douglas Chanson although he calls himself Douglas Chanson Associates. He rode the elevator down to the lobby and decided to do a direct frontal assault on an entrenched foe. He sent a text to Brad Cowl after taking some time to compose it in his head. Cowl was a transactional guy. So Devine was going to give him an offer he couldnt refuse. All right, tell us what was missing. Only by hearsay. At what? There must have been one hell of a fight before Alder was bumped off. It wasnt simply a matter of somebody, grabbing the gun from his desk and shooting him. Oh, fine, Drake said sarcastically. I was down there for all of fifteen minutes, I guess, and then I got your message to come back. What a pity, she said, smiled again, and left. No, that other one, farther west. So? said Ekman. Not a chance, Mason pointed out. Remember that Cadiz said he couldnt get into this little bay except when the water was very smooth, and that it was only dining periods of high tide and storm that the waves lashed driftwood way up above the normal high-tide line on the beach. Yet on this trip hed been in there for a week combing the high-tide line. Do this: assign unmarked police cars to drive these people to and from work, and put one cop, besides the driver, in the car with them. Have the guy carry a shotgun, which is more likely to hit the target than a handgun and does less collateral damage, if youre lucky. You can also load them with bird shot instead of buckshot; that will still do a lot of damage at close range while cutting down on the collateral damage. Also, three of those on the list are already dead and dont require further attention from you. Go past, then come back to within sight of the place, Dino ordered. Yes. He means he wants it in writing, Quane said. The train gathered speed as the signal problem vanished. Later, Devine trudged out of the station. He would walk home, go to sleep, and then rise early. He would perform the workout he had pretty much done every day since leaving the Army. He would shower in the darkness, eat his breakfast, and head to this very same station as the sun rose. At least tomorrow was Saturday. Which meant he had only one more day of toil until his only day off for the week. Sure I took it, she said. You dont throw silver away. You didnt want it, did you?..
