Glen Cook Quote
Madle named names. Some were on my list and some were not. Those that were not I assumed to be spear carriers. Tally had been well and reliably scouted. The last corpse went out. I gave Madle a small gold piece. He goggled. His customers regarded him with unfriendly eyes. I grinned. For services rendered. Madle blanched, stared at the coin. It was a kiss of death. His patrons would think he had helped set the ambush. Gotcha, I whispered. Want to get out of this alive? He looked at me in fear and hatred. Who the hell are you guys? he demanded in a harsh whisper. The Black Company, Madle. The Black Company. I don’t know how he managed, but he went even whiter.
