James Patterson Quote

Try to hypnotize Chris here, Bear says, and then we’ll teach him the Greek alphabet. Right, Sam? If Chris is a good subject, and I believe he very well might be, it should work, Hutto says in a surprisingly deep voice. But don’t fuck around with him, the Bear warns. Any funny stuff and I’ll break your goddamn neck. Hutto’s look of fright is a visual contract that he won’t try any funny stuff. You wanna’ try it, Chris? I ask. He nods uncertainly. OK, Sam. Let’s give it a whirl. Hutto directs a study lamp and pulls a chair up close to the Martian’s, leaning forward against its back. At his nod, Dense turns out the overhead light. He removes a shiny fountain pen and holds it vertically in front of the Martian. The steady pen sparkles in the lamplight. Now Chris, he says softly, I want you to relax
