Walter caught the dig and grinned wider. "Tough break. If you know it's dangerous, better head back. Next time, it might not just be your leg," he said, a hint of threat in his voice. Alexander shot back, "Can't do that. My wife's still here. Can't leave her with all these dogs around, right? What if they bite her?"

Quinn was just about done with their bickering.
