You’re the kid the coach trusts most. So when you help us out Thursday, ain’t nobody going to suspect a thing!” “You want the Panthers to lose? You know I won’t do it.” He glared at Bill. “Tell ‘em!” The guard snickered. “For the kind of money these guys have sittin’ around, you’ll do it.” “How much money are you guys talking about?” “How does $5,000 sound?” “I told you I can’t, man.” The stubborn words hung in the cold night air.
