Danger Quote by John Scalzi
““The man reached into his coat and pulled out a wallet containing an ID card. "Agent Dwight, FBI. Miss Baker, I need you to come with me. You're in danger here." "In danger?" Robin said. "In danger from what?" "Not from what. From who," Agent Dwight said, and glanced over at Creek. "You're in danger from him. He's going to kill you, Miss Baker. At least he is going to try." Robin turned to Creek. "You bastard," she said. "You never said anything about killing me when we made the date." ””
