Dangerous combination, chess and cons.
Those two knew everything about me. All my dirty little secrets, how much money I had, where I kept it. Hustling bastards cleaned me out. My neighbors used to write down chess moves and concepts of the con in the back pages of books based on subjects like The Mathematics Of Quantum Mechanics. Wake up, Mr. Green. We were all going to go together, they swore to me. "You're coming with us, Jake." We were always going to take you with us, Jake. You just weren't ready to hear how hard that was going to be. We didn't do this because we like you. We did this because...we are you.
