"She was trying to cut my fingers off and feed them to me!"
"There was that social debutant in France last year."
"She was a black widow and had a machete, which she was trying to take my head off with!"
"Then there was that woman in Istanbul."
"Now that was an accident! How was I supposed to know that monster was a woman?"
Tyre half choked on a burst of laughter.
"Yes!" Exclaimed Galloway as he and Flint smacked hands together victoriously as Tyre just shook his head and started up the outboard motor.
It had been a game of the other two for years to try and crack up Tyre's somber façade and when they succeeded it was cause for celebration over a hard won victory.
"Seriously Flint, what are we going to do if she doesn't' tell us what she knows?"
Galloway asked loudly in order to be heard over the noise of the motor prop.
"We'll keep her safe. As long as she is safe the treasure remains buried."
"And I guess you're just the man for that special protective detail aren't you?"
Flint just smiled back in return.
