"I do?"
"Yes."
"How?"
"You appear to think that all those whom you dislike have to do is to stand up and be shot like deserters. Let me tell you something. Had you recognized me you would have been a dead man, that's all, and it is possible several of your pals might have gone the journey with you. It's better for you and them that you did not recognize me."
"The walls won't hold me long."
The detective laughed.
"When I am out I'll make it my business to settle you before I go back."
"Tommy, you surprise me."
"Do I?"
"Yes."
