“You telling me your word is no good?” Sonny asked. “I thought that was a big deal to you people.”

“You got a lot of nerve,” the old man said, and he took a step towards Sonny. Sonny raised his cane instinctively. The man looked plenty strong in spite of his years.

“It’s your choice,” Sonny said and he shrugged. “Maybe you should fight it in court. You got a good lawyer? My guy’s a fucking maniac; I swear you could cut him with a chainsaw and he wouldn’t bleed.”
