Quotes by Jack Slater (?)

“A friend of mine will be in touch.” Trapp grinned. “To help you to invest it, pay taxes, that kind of thing. That’s how they got Al Capone, you know. Forget about the Taliban; you don’t want to fuck with the IRS.”
― Jack Slater, Valley of Death

“Trapp grabbed as much of the submachine gun’s ammunition as he could carry, stuffing magazines into every spare pocket of his jeans and jacket. If he’d planned this better, he would have double-taped them end to end. But he hadn’t truly believed that something like this could happen. Not on the streets of America. That old motto drilled into him at the Farm swam through his mind in a mocking chorus. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.”
― Jack Slater, Dark State
