"I just brought him in to help you out."
"Sure. I get it. Everything including the keys to the

As soon as Jay hung up the phone, Maylor was ringing, "hey,
what's the trouble?"
"Hell, what do you mean? You set me up and now you ask me
what's wrong."
"Hey it's not like that at all."
"I know how it is. I'll send you a post card someday."
"Is there a problem, darling?"
"Not really any more than could have been expected. We have
just had a slight change of plan. That's all." Jay picked up
the phone and dialed a California number. "Hello, I want to
speak with Jack Foster; this is Jay Kristal calling."
"Hello, Jack, how is the California sunshine?"
"Great, but I know that you didn't call to talk about the
weather."
"Well, you're right. Jack. I've been thinking over your
offer, and I've decided to take you up on it."
"That sounds fine. When and where do you want to put it
together."
"I have been thinking about opening an office in Atlanta.
If we can make a deal say on the southeastern states, I would be
ready to start immediately."
