Jeff muttered silently at himself. He had a plan. If it was desperate,
the situation called for desperate measures. But everything depended on
surprise. To give Barr the slightest warning would also give him time to
shoot Jeff. It went without saying that he would then be able to shoot
Pal, and Jeff hadn't the least doubt that Barr would be happy to do
both. He forced a laugh.
"It's just nice to see something around here that's not hell-bent to
shoot something else."
