I’ve got just one more thing to say.”She paused and everybody waited. “Shut up, Azee,” she said and grinned.“I’ve got one more thing to bring up,” I started, and Azee interrupted me. I knew they wouldn’t let Alex get away with it.“Let Alex help,” Anthony said. “She can bring it up,” Zorba said. I ignored both of them.“As I was saying, there’s something else we haven’t.
