"I guess that we should start putting it all on the table," Hunter said, to my surprise, putting his hands out across the concrete slab as a means of illustrating his point.

"What makes you think that we haven’t already?" I asked him, raising my voice. Janine stirred but didn't wake up.

"It’s not that I don’t trust either of you, but you have to keep in mind that the circumstances in which we met are… somewhat questionable. A couple of hours ago, we were in a car chase. Somebody was shooting at us. I need to know what they were chasing you for. Or her. Or if you have no idea, then I need to know that as well. Because they could have been after me." Hunter was a really talkative guy, all of a sudden, and it seemed like he had a lot more to say to me after making a loaded statement like that.
