I couldn't believe my luck. 'How? Why?"
"We each get something we need, Justin. I deliver you one of the females for you to breed, and you get rid of the Alpha pair for me." He stood up, walking over to me. "I've got to get some sleep before the morning meetings. This talk doesn't go outside the three of us. If you're interested, slap me on the shoulder as we're leaving tomorrow. We will figure out a time and place and make this happen for both of us."
The next morning, I couldn't think of anything else. As the meeting broke up, I slapped his right shoulder and told him he should come visit sometime.
