Hi, Albert, Quinn called back. He seemed distracted. And Albert was sure that hed seen Quinn motion for someone to stay down.How long is this supposed to go on? Albert asked.Until we get justice, Quinn said.Justice? People have been waiting for justice since the dinosaurs.Quinn said nothing and Albert cursed himself for indulging in sarcasm. What is it you want, Quinn? I mean in practical terms.We want Penny gone, Quinn said.I cant afford to pay you any more, Albert shouted back.I didnt say anything about money, Quinn said, sounding puzzled.Yeah, I know: justice. Usually what people really want is money. So why dont we get down to it?Penny, Quinn said. She leaves town. She stays gone. When that happens we fish. Until it happens, we sit. He sat down as if to emphasize his point.
