He would have done it.
I thought he just meant to scare the pusher, so I didn't hesitate to bring Cowley what he wanted--the heroin and the needle. It never occurred to me to bring a vial of something innocuous instead. Just following orders, me.
Even when he started talking about the mines, I didn't really believe it. But I saw the look in his eyes when he held up the needle. Do you have any doubt, he asked. I didn't, not anymore.
He would have done it.
And I would have held the pusher down as he did.
