Jack Vance for advice,

"Karl Latte, best man ever worked for me. Unconventional...."

Auri cocks an eyebrow, "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Independent as hell. Born five centuries too late, sees himself as a knight in black ostrich hide. Used to
be a cop, but doesn't give a rat's hind end about law. Convince him you're the underdog, and he'll never
quitтАФnot while he breathes."

"And you think you can sell him?"

"I can sell him."

"Why should I believe you this time?"

"He's saavy, tough, survival instincts of a mink."

She opens the door to go, "He's so damned good, why doesn't he work for you?"

Tate had hoped she wouldn't ask. "Something happened, he walked away."

"What?"

He says nothing.

With an exasperated laugh, she appraises him with a slow shake of her head, eyes industrial diamond.
"Little boys and their secrets. Okay, lets try this: Give me a reason to stay or I'm gone."
