and　it　made　a　weird　knocking　sound。　？Knock　on　wood；　it？ll　be　the　best　thing　I　ever　did。？　Knock

Nate？s　eyes　widened　in　surprise　at　Chips？s　announcement？sail　around　the　world？　Damn。

people　he　loved　most　in　the　world。

plank　floor。　？Now？s　your　turn。？　Is　that　Scottish…old…man…speak　for　？Grow　a　sack？？
