John smiles.  "Mike's an angel and a coward.  I'm not
sure anyone would have to worry about him, and he does
make good company.  But perhaps wolves are too
specific a term.  Predator might be more appropriate. 
It's a dangerous city, and sometimes I think for a lot
of people ignorance is a blessing."

He held up his glass, appearing to inspect his beer a
moment.  He frowned and then continued.  "We all have
our roles to play, whether we realize it or not."  He
seems to be looking at Morgan.  "Question is whether
we choose our role or let our role choose us."
