Henry grabbed Mark’s collar and hauled him bodily up from the ground. Fixing his attention on Mark, he growled “Boy, I’m not going to threaten you or intimidate you.

“But whatever I ask you after this, you’d better give me an honest answer. If you so much as keep even the smallest detail from me, I’ll drag your whole family into the mountains and bury them alive!”
