EMPIRE OF DECEIT (Dean Allison - Bruce B.Hendersson) "Ben, you know you`re my best friend. Why`d you leave ? It was Smith. His voice sounded subdued. He was crying at least sound like it. " You hurt my feelings. Lee is all upset" " ĂŒ dont`t give a damm; " Lewis still seating. The crying on the other end sounded fake to him. But even if it was real, it didn`t matter. None of this is making any sense. You`re spending money like water. You´re not paying back the bank. We might as well go on top of a high roof somewhere and throw the money away. That`s how you are wasting it " " But I promised all those people, " Smith sobbed "that if Ali fought again I`d make sure they where to see him. I `ll take care of the money owed to the bank. We`ve got some big shows coming up_______" Ben hung up. He was disgusted. He hard heard it all before many times. He was tired of Harald and his excuses.
