Marty Wondiyak’s fingers trembled and twitched when he talked. Always made it seem like he was lying.

Sometimes Bonner tuned him out, tried to see which fingers twitched most,like a poker tell, kinda made listening to Marty into a game.

Bonner liked Marty, generally, and didn’t know him to be a liar. A criminal, for sure, but not a liar.

He had gotten in with Marty on the pinball thing, that made ‘em about 4100 each, and no one got busted.

Marty’s fingers were going crazy today, Bonner couldn’t follow them, or Marty’s pitch, which he was only half paying attention to.

Something about truckloads of boxes that got dropped over at that orange building on Crorey. 

Serrated.
