Kate shakes her head slowly.

"Y'gotta meet with him, 'fore the three days is up. I don't doubt if you don't he'll hold it 'gainst you 'til the day you die."

Which might be sooner rather than later.

(The thought makes her wince.)

"I can be there, if you'd like me to. Or somebody else y'trust more'n me. I wouldn't dare meet with him alone. He don't seem t'make mistakes unless he gits hisself real flustered an' angry, and y'shouldn't try an' get him t'that point. Not without a plan."
