Jesus merely shrugged. “Drink from my mouth and you shall be as I<br />

It came off like a slap in the face without one consonant of audible<br />

sarcasm.<br />

The man with the shades turned towards Frederick, and then back to<br />

the girl.<br />

“Show the man some respect, Pig,” he said slowly, privately wishing<br />

he wasn’t so damned attracted to her. God damn brainstem.. “By the<br />

way, Freddie, my name is Agent 139.” His speech was mildly slurred,<br />
