Chapter Seventeen

“Can you believe that?” Bixby asked after they got under way once more. “Mr. Jensen has just killed two men. Two men, mind you, yet to look at him and to hear him talk, you would think nothing had happened.”

Bixby had a large, discolored bump on his head, clearly visible because of his baldness.

“To think that we had befriended him,” Bixby continued.

“Surely, you aren’t condemning him, are you, Mr. Bixby?” Hendel asked.

“I am indeed.”

“But why? He saved our money, if not our lives.”

“He is as savage as the others,” Bixby said.

“I think he was courageous, even heroic,” Cynthia said.

“Of course you would think such a thing, my dear,” Bixby said. “As empty as your head is, you probably see him as a knight in shining armor. But I’m telling you now that someone who can kill as easily as he can is not someone with whom we need to associate. And I forbid you to speak to him again.”

“But Jay,” Cynthia said.

“Not another word. When we get to Phoenix, we shall go our way and, no doubt, he shall go his.”

“It isn’t as if I want to invite him over for tea,” Cynthia said. “But I do think that you are wrong in your judgment of him, and I agree with Mr. Hendel. I think we are obligated to him for our very safety.”
