[QUOTE="Scotley, post: 3122230, member: 11520"] [b]Deal with the devil.[/b] Giraldii matches your gaze for a long while in silence. [COLOR=DarkRed]"Indeed it is a complex situation we find ourselves in. Two fellows with little reason to trust each other beyond our own greed."[/COLOR] He takes another sip of beer. [COLOR=DarkRed]"But we are both captains. I've told you I don't want trouble with Rosie and that we have an agreement. My lad was over anxious and took the goods.
