Hutt now faced a death threat. The stabbing pain in his forehead constantly reminded him that Dean, standing before him, was a reckless madman.

I didn't want to invite trouble over a little more than a million US dollars, so I simply told him to get lost."
"Is it really that simple?" Dean's gaze then shifted toward the ashtray.
I have to say, this thing is quite handy.
