Jeffery Deaver Quote

I looked around the property. It’s a lot different here now, with the primary in custody and the lifter about to be nailed. You can almost enjoy it. I glanced at the imposter’s black angular machine gun. It wasn’t pointed near me but if he caught on that I knew who he was I’d be dead before I could move an inch. The man said, That’s true—except for some deer with a suicidal personality who jumped out of the bushes over there a little while ago. We almost had venison for breakfast. Just heard him again, the same place. They’re not really very bright, are they? I don’t think that’s why God made them. Was he suspicious? I couldn’t tell. I continued, Listen, Tony, when I get back I want to coordinate getting the Kesslers to Fairfax in the morning. Loving’ll be in custody by then. But I want some protection on them for the next couple of days, until everything’s resolved. Agent Frederick said you might be willing to take that on. I was vamping. Overdoing it? I wondered. I wasn’t sure. A bad performance would kill me.
