“Who the hell gets up at seven on a Saturday? Never mind. You do. So?”

Brody explained Gene’s concerns and then waited; smiling when he heard Mike’s grumbled, “Tell them not until after nine.”

You can watch TV while we’re working on this.” The pair accepted what he’d said with good grace. Probably, he figured, because they knew if they argued he might ban them altogether.
