I listen to him, because I know he’s telling the truth. I can hear it in his voice. He doesn’t want to hurt me, not yet at least. I just have to wait for the moment when he slips up and that’s when I attack. He forces me around the corner to stand in front of the crowd. “The trade is off,” he exclaims.
