Chapter 4
“Can’t afford you...?”Adam said, “What do you mean?”
“Think about what we fly.
“A regular Sandy is right at a million ... the AD2Q is a magnitude more ... there are only five in the world. The Bearcat is in the three to seven million bracket. Shoot ... her SNJ’s are two to five hundred thousand depending. Hers are in the test flight only class. I have 3 Fokker Dr-1s ... she is bulding a Pup. I own, outright, three catamarans ... the smallest is 42 feet ... the big one is 90. I have other boats ... I have built race boats.”
“Oh ... out of my class,” he said. “I see.” He did. Adam went away ... not necessarily disappointed ... but maybe. Unsettled maybe. Looking back he realized he might have lost the most important person he’d ever met ... maybe.
Just maybe.
He’d have to find out. He turned around ... she was still watching him.
Hmmm ... maybe not.
He stopped, turned and looked at us. While I was watching he looked, mentally, like a one legged man at an asskicking or a one armed paper hanger ... or even a man at a ‘make up your mind sign,’ (A tee intersection ... right or left ... make up your mind.)
An anecdotal reference from personal experience 110 miles per hour(177kph) in a showroom fresh Hemi powered Dodge stationwagon and and a Tee intersection ... the driver didn’t make the turn. He did try. I survived. OMWP
