"So you're chasing," Audibon snorted. "Go ahead and chase. You'll never catch up. Not while she remembers me...."
"Who's chasing?"
"Then you're bluffing, you—"
"Who's bluffing?"
Audibon went white, then red. He turned, walked to the desk and put down the shot-glasses so violently that they clattered.
"I'm waiting for your offer," Lennox said pleasantly.
"Get out," Audibon said in a low voice.
"Tooky offered to trade. Blinky offered to trade. Why not you? Let's hear how contemptible you can get."
Audibon swung around. "I'll see you in hell first!" He came at Lennox so fast that Lennox only had time enough to grasp his arms above the elbow. They strained at each other for half a minute.
"I'll see you dead and rotting first," Audibon panted. "I'll run you out of the business. I'll run you off The Rock. If she stays with you, I'll run her off too. I'll see both of you dead first."
