The Ambushers
“I went through the files, refreshing my memory about the people in our line of business considered important enough to be given a certain priority. I read up on Dickman, Holz, Rosloff, Vadya, and Basil, all nice people who’d kill you as soon as look at you.
There were some old names missing, the ones we’d caught up with here and there or somebody had; and there were some new ones who’d just graduated to priority status. Reading about their latest accomplishments made me feel much better. It was... like reading about old friends getting up in the world. These were people you could count on, unlike the supercilious sons of bitches in the Pentagon and State Department and elsewhere in this lousy town that had probably been a fine swamp before some fool decided to drain it.
Mac didn’t disappoint me. He had a new list of criticisms some bright lad in spats had thought up on the golf course over the weekend. Well, I guess I’m being unfair. I don’t believe they really play golf in spats.MoreLess
