“Why did you leave field work for a while?”

Xavier pressed the cruise control and looked at his mirrors. I waited for a response. “There was a difficult assignment I signed up for. I completed the mission but not without some casualties. The matter was under investigation until recently.”

“I can’t really get into it, Jake. Need to know business, like the military.”

“Okay. Guess we won’ttalk about work then.” I tugged on the seatbelt, tried to get some slack. “So, which law school did you go to, Xavier?”

“University of Florida.”

“Really? Then, I would have been a third-year at University of Miami, while you were a second year at Florida?”

Xavier nodded readily before I finished asking the question
