I've got this sinking feeling...

     in the pit of my stomach. Well, technically, I've got this sinking feeling all over. That tends to happen after being tossed off a dock wearing a logging chain where your wingtips should be.

     What kind of trouble had this girl gotten herself in? Was the Tailor headed her way now? Did he have a pair of iron boots for her also?

     And who was calling the shots? Whoever he was, it didn't seem to bother him, this dirty business. That means one of three things.

     He's well protected.

     He's well connected.

     Or both.

     It was all bad news. Any way you looked at it, we were in trouble. Maybe her more than I. And that's saying something, considering that I'm on a one way ticket to the bottom of the river.

There's that feeling again. I think I'm gonna be sick.
