Crimson took a...

"I can't go on. Please. Make sure they honor my last will and testament." Wendy fell during our laps around the room.

In the end, DPS had lost.

After Rodger put down the phone, I grimaced. "I'm afraid I'm not much of a deterrent. They are not my biggest fans at the moment. What were they threatening?" 

His face dropped, realizin...
