"No, she's a typical whey-faced adolescent with a brain the size of a prune
pit." Nat picked up his beer glass. "Sue you're well rid of. What I meant was
--"

"Wait now, Nat. My relationship with Sue was something special that-"

"Not all that special. You're the third guy she's gone with this semester and
it's only October."

"Look, that's because Krouch --"

"The reason you're a shmuck, Will, is that you gave in to him. Now the

"Nope, it had to do with Sue entirely," I said. "He made that clear when he
called me into his office at the start of all this."

"I've already explained that to you."

"No, you simply recited her feeble excuse for --"

"Few rational people, in my opinion, would risk all the grief and loss of self
esteem that's involved in dating your girl. Even a fire-breathing demon would
think twice before --"

"Did Krouch send more of those after you?"

I held up some fingers. "Three last night."

"That's four."
"I'm rattled." I took a sip of my beer. "This has been a rough day."

"How's it taste?" "Hum?"
