Spiked Tongue shook his head. "She won't be coming here soon. We couldn't allow her to come here straightaway or she won't let any of us go. We told her the wrong time and place."
"The place we told her is not far from here. It is just outside of the city. The time we told her will be in a few minutes. Our job is to delay you until then. Then we will agree to be your subordinates and be on our way."
Kelvin was genuinely impressed. He said, "You guys will escape through the back, but I'll be oblivious and continue on my way to the city. That will make me encounter her, and he dealt with it."
He smiled and looked at all of them as he said, "You guys are not half bad."
Spiked Tongue was tempted to stop there and let Boss Dollar get only half of the picture. But Smite finally managed to stand up. His miserable appearance spurred Spiked Tongue on.
