we got a small dry cleaning allowance from the company . and i knew the answer , though the words were not coming together . that included stealing a shuttle which had gone down somewhere close , presumably only a few miles away from them . he 's an ... associate of mine who hopes to help us come to some sort of an agreement . '' `` you kept them close so they would n't become someone else 's problem . '' this is the only sensible way to go . or was he somehow in league with butch ?
