Run for Your Life - James Patterson [90]
“Okay, Ralph, I’ll take care of it,” I said.
When I got back to the front door, the media people thrust an aluminum bouquet of microphones under my chin. I cleared my throat loudly.
“I do have a statement to make after all,” I said. “I agree with my kids one hundred and fifty percent. Good-bye, everyone. And before I forget, up yours—each and every one of you—with a hockey stick.”
