The second name put a whole new slant on the situation, a decent guy who I regarded as competent.“Look, I’m not promising anything, but I’m prep...red to meet the girl. But what’s in it for me?”“If you successfully exorcise the evil spirit, the Vatican intends to grant you full reinstatement.”“I want no loss of service and full-back pay,” I insisted.
