-
Mr. Hixton came from an impoverished background.
-
He found having hard currency around reassuring.
-
How many people knew that it was there?
-
Dozens, no doubt.
-
He had a habit of buying everything in sight,
-
no thought to how much money he was flashing around
-
or how dangerous it was to tell people
-
that there was plenty more of it at home.
-
In New York, that's like
-
inviting someone back to your house to kill you.
-
Did he keep that gun in the safe?
-
That's the odd thing, miss.
