Running your mouth Quote by Sherrilyn Kenyon
““Not to be rude, but what the hell? I live for it. You can’t start running your mouth about what you’ve seen here tonight. (ZT) Great threat you’ve going there big ZT. News flash, I didn’t want to see anything. Your people dragged me into this against my will, not the other way around, and who am I going to tell anyway? The last thing I want is to be dragged off and committed because I saw...something that no rational human being has ever seen before. (Geary) I don’t think you understand what’s going on here, do you? (ZT) Not a clue and, no offense, I like it that way. Clueless rules. (Geary)””
