The Loner: Inferno #12
“But if you did, it would cost you money in the long run.”
A stream of guttural language erupted from Salvatorio. The Kid didn’t speak any Apache, but he was pretty sure what the war chief was saying wasn’t flattering.
Kelly let Salvatorio’s unleashed venom run down, then went on. “There’s no rule that says the people you do business with have to like each other, Captain. I’m perfectly willing to back off and let you finish your transaction with Salvatorio. Then you and I can come to an arrangem...ent of our own.”
“My business with the chief is already done,” Guzman said. “He was just leaving.”
“You might want to ask him to wait around for a while,” Kelly suggested. “The proposition I have for you involves him as well.”
Interest sparked in Guzman’s eyes. The Kid read greed there as well.
“Salvatorio’s associates are downstairs eating,” Guzman said. “I’ll have him taken to join them while you and I discuss matters, Kelly.”
The conversation made it pretty obvious the war chief didn’t speak or understand any English.MoreLess
