I could see heads nodding on the imager and could hear them trying to pick someone to send out to talk. I could tell who it was going to be before they could. They there was a shape moving toward the group from my 6 0’clock. I didn’t see him before but it was easy spotting him now that everyone else had stopped moving. He stepped into the clearing with the others and everyone jumped. That was going to be my guy.
Eventually they sent Sam out to talk. I heard the whole thing and could have talked to him from where he was standing, but it was a good idea to let him get out in front of the others and take charge. I was going to need someone to take charge so I could keep the people in line and on my side, eventually.
“Here is the deal. There is no need to us to be enemies, I am trying to work with you and I think it is to the benefit of everyone.”
“Wants the deal Oz?”
“My name is not really Oz, you can call me Dave and the deal is real simple. Leave my guys and trucks alone and I’ll make sure you have plenty of others to prey on.”
