CHAPTER 14: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31st << 212 | 213 | 214 >> "I can’t even begin to imagine the kind of odds you’re talking about, Darryl, but you can just call me Amy, it's easier than the whole AmyStrange thing. In fact, you can all call me that, if it makes it easier." "I prefer Miss Amy myself," Darryl bowed, as best as he could, from the back seat. "I'm just gonna call you the Cat," I decided to make it official. "You would," the Cat answered back, and then turned to Darryl, "Miss Amy is fine. Now you, I had a hard time finding anything about. I have my theories about that, but we can talk about that later, without anyone else around, if you’d rather?" Darryl got serious, shed all of the disguises, and became who he really was. “I have no secrets from anyone here. Nothing they really need to know, but I also like to think of them as my home town crew, my posse, so to speak. “When things get rough, I know I can count on these guys to back me up.” He looked at each of us, and then back at the Cat, “Do you have any idea how hard it is to find just one honest and good person in the world today, let alone five of them, and all in the same place.” “I have an inkling,” the Cat said. “All good cons know that the best cons are the ones that use the greed of the sucker as the core premise. “Most people, deep down inside, are greedy, but not these guys, not even a little. “I wouldn't con them, even if my life depended on it,” Darryl said, finishing the longest speech, I’d ever heard him make. “You're also a cat-burglar.” “I've dabbled.” “And according to my friends, all they could find out about your finan- cial situation was that you currently have ten million dollars in more than one bank. “You pay taxes, more than your share actually, so the IRS can't touch you, and plus your occupation is listed as a 'Warehouse Co-Coordinator',” the Cat said while chuckling a little. “I like that, by the way.” << 212 | 213 | 214 >> CHAPTER 14: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31st
