“Bread crumbs... sure...”
“But that's not it, is it? You only caught up with me because I slowed down. I hesitated for one damn second and you were there.”
“And God forbid someone lives to see the sunrise because you missed a beat! Please excuse my sarcasm; but there's still right and wrong to consider, and murder still falls under the latter, last time I checked.”

“Well then! Where were we?”
