Gabriel Looked Quote by Nicholas Eames
““And then came the cyclops.” “Cyclops?” Gabriel looked at him askance. “Big bastards, one huge eye right here on their head?” Clay leveled a glare of his own. “I know what a cyclops is, asshole.” “Then why did you ask?” “I didn’t …” Clay faltered. “Never mind. What about the cyclops?” Gabriel””
