"And if I happen to need you or your help again?" "Ha..." Mr Ill laughed sardonically as he headed out the door. "Show up again to dig you out of a jam? Now if I became a recurring character in my own story, that would certainly be cheap writing." Freddie shrugged and followed him out and into the doorway and watched the stranger disappear into the night, and stood there, feeling the cool night air cover him, assessing everything he had heard and experienced tonight.
