"You are just in time, David, as I was telling these gentlemen about your hunt after those wretches. Did you see anyone?" Patricia was silenced, though unconvinced. "Don't you let any of those hyenas see it, all the same," she cautioned. "I know them better than you do. They'd rush another version in before yours, and then where would you be?"
