wire. These poor creatures fell for recruiting and advertising in the hope of earning found themselves trapped, poisoned with opium, they never return back.

– We have them to overfishing as mice! – Exclaimed impatiently Hilt. Azon, recalling the adventures of his youth, he felt the confidence that helped win more than once in a difficult situation.

– So you vouch for one another? – Blue eyes, gazing at Azon, narrowed.

– Yes, Sir! – Confidently replied.

– And you probably forgot how he got to us! – Having spoken to Azon’ man looked younger than his years.

Posture complemented similarity with the stamp, bird, feeding on carrion. Hilt, who was standing nearby, grimaced at the sight prickly boss.

– I’ve been out of work for two years. I have nothing to eat. – Stepped in Hilt.
