He stepped forward, not far, just enough to change the geometry of where Gerald was in the alley. "She doesn't know about us at all, does she?"
Gerald said nothing.
"No," Big G said. "She doesn't..."
"Because if she did, you'd have had a different conversation than the one you've been having, and you'd probably have found the twelve thousand a different way."
