From the floor Johnny shook his head.
"Because if you tell anybody our names or anything about us, you know what we're going to do?" Ed asked.
Again Johnny shook his head.
"We'll catch you and take you out into the jungle and tie you to a tree without any armor on, and leave you for the arrow-birds. You understand?"
