Charlie pointed to the man standing motionless in the corridor inside the door and asked him, “What is he?”

The Reverend said, “He is my second-in-command.”

Charlie frowned and asked, “Your deputy, do you still have to meet your needs in that area normally?”

Reverend replied, “He wanted to join the Battalion, but to join the Battalion, he needed a recommendation from someone who had been trained in the Battalion, so that’s why I used that as a condition and asked him to satisfy me…”

Charlie stretched out a hand to interrupt him, “All right, you don’t have to say anything.”

Reverend immediately closed his mouth.

Charlie then asked, “In a moment, do you have any way to let me mix with you into the copper mine?”
