“Quite a memory, Mr. Ludefance. I’m impressed. Did you at any time during this encounter think about the fact that the now dead person was there to steal the iPhones with the four billion in cryptocurrency?”
“It occurred to me.”
“And you still took aim and shot him?”
“Detective, there was a gun pointed at me. Yes, I shot first. And I’d do the same thing again.”

“Is there a problem?”
“No. In fact, she’s quite impressed with your work. So much so, she wants you to be appointed head legal counsel.”
“Yes, she did mention something along those lines in this morning’s meeting. But I didn’t want to say anything in case she’d been blowing smoke. Switching isn’t a problem, is it? I mean, I’d be happy to try to smooth things over with the other lawyer.”
“That’s not necessary,” Saul said, dryly. “I’m the other attorney.”

“If there was one thing a former sniper could do well, it was wait. Patiently. Quietly. Without a sound. Barely a movement. Just him, a quiet mind and his breath.”
