"Be sure to bring back some whiskey," said Matt. "We forgot to lay in a supply."
Henry took off for Titan.
Jake turned to Matt. "Look," he said, "I arranged it so Henry would take the letter because I wanted to talk to you. When you come right down to it, Matt, what need do we have for three people in the deal?"
Matt slowly nodded his thick black head of hair, as comprehension spread over his features.
"With just two people to divide up the pot, our shares would be fifteen million apiece," said Jake.
"And less chance of getting caught afterwards," Matt added.
They shook hands.
Henry returned from Titan eight hours later.
"I mailed the letter," he said. "And I bought the whiskey."
"Good," said Matt, "pour us all a drink."
