Carlos nodded. “Yeah, I understand,” he said. “Engineering
requires a lot of numbers know-how, so I’ll be your man if you ever need the
help.” He ate more of his cereal, not really thinking about what he’d just said
to Hancock.“Thanks man, that’s real sweet of ya. Ain’t many folks I’d trust to help me with some’a that stuff anyway, too many around here lookin’ to get one over on everyone, y’know? You seem like the trustworthy type though.”
Carlos smiled at him. “Well, thank you. It’s up to you, of
course… I’m just saying I’m willing. Math and engineering is just about all I’m
really good for.”
