Michael J. Sullivan Quote
I don’t have a single callus. Even if I decided to leave title and pride behind, I lack any useful skills. I’m like a milk cow slapped on the backside and turned out of the barn to make her way in the forest. A chicken, returned to the wilds to fend for myself.I don’t think chicken’s have ever been wild, Hadrian said.Exactly. Albert paused to stare at the remainder of the salt pork strip. Your friend is right. This is just prolonging the inevitable. It’s a waste. Here. He held out the meat.Keep it, Hadrian said, tilting his head at Royce. I’m supposed to be learning a lesson.Oh shut up, the both of you. I have more. Royce pulled another strip of pork from his vest and handed it to Hadrian.So that’s my miserable story, Albert said. How about you two? He looked at Hadrian. I’m guessing you’re his apprentice?Hadrian laughed. No. We’re…business partners.What line?Procurement, Royce said.What kind?Any kind, Royce answered.Albert stared at them for a moment, then his eyes widened. You are thieves.He is. Hadrian pointed to Royce. I’m new to this.Really? What did you used to do?Hadrian thought a moment. Kill people.
