Inwardly, Mason groaned. His inner recruitment checklist had been marked off with every word that came out of Dale's mouth - something all of their operatives were trained to do. While men like Yaksha enjoyed twisting mens' loyalties to their cause, Mason found it harder to recruit someone like Dale. Someone who seemed like a decent person. "You got family here?" he asked, "you're right, that is a bit dangerous. You look like a strong guy, but even you can't be everywhere at once." He turned away from Dale, surveying the building around him. "Even this place could go up in flames at any second. Customer gets angry. Fight gets out of hand. The wrong God-warrior flicks a pebble. That kind of stuff."
