"Don't tell anyone
about this."
Bob had told us.
"Tommy,
no one can know about this."
He said.
"We'd get into an
awful
amount of trouble."
Fred had pitched in.
"But, why?
Why would we
get into trouble?"
I had asked,
in my
innocent voice.
"We were poaching,
Tommy.
We were poaching
on Cobham's
property."
He had
forced
us to promise him.
But,
I'm not sure if
I'm strong enough
to keep such a
dark
secret.
