[ Silco stared right back at Amos, one eye unblinking, the other blinked once, twice, just for the effect. A reminder that the man was unsettling at his core, and just in case Amos forgot it.

Of course, in this, it actually was for the best of them. Deals were best when they were mutual, when both could obtain something, and there was little worry about things going awry. Silco wanted honest dealings, simply because they were so much easier to manage. There was no stacking house of cards, no promises that he wouldn't keep.

If Zenith won, and they were two for two...
