The mud at Holloway Ridge didn’t smell like honest dirt. It reeked of sulfur, diesel runoff, and the metallic stink of corners being cut until they bled. I adjusted my scuffed hard hat, made sure my vest looked like standard grunt gear, and stepped out of my old F-150. Officially, I wasn’t supposed to be here.
Tanya Miller, state inspector, wasn’t on any schedule. I was a ghost, a favor owed by a subcontractor who remembered I once saved him from a federal OSHA audit. To anyone watching, I was just another middle-aged laborer in a yellow vest two sizes too big, carrying a clipboard that had seen better days. The site was a symphony of violations.
A guy on a scissor lift without a harness. Rebar sticking out of the ground like rusty spears. I’d been inspecting structures across the Rust Belt for twenty years. I know what a building sounds like when it’s going up right.
It hums. This place rattled. It wheezed. I walked past pallets stacked high, extension cords snaking through puddles.
Holloway was billed as luxury living for the modern elite. Glass walls and rooftop gardens in the brochure. What I saw was porous concrete and support columns leaning away from responsibility. “Hey, you.
Yeah, you staring at the rebar like it’s going to recite Shakespeare. ”
The voice cracked through the air like a whip. I turned slowly. Striding toward me was a guy in a pristine white hard hat, polo tucked into khakis that cost more than my first car.
Craig. The site manager. The kind of man who’d never been punched in the throat. “I don’t pay you to admire geometry, lady.
Why aren’t you hauling scrap from the B block? ”
He didn’t recognize me. Why would he? Two years ago, I sat across a mahogany table from his bosses, telling them their soil compaction data was a fairy tale.
That report got buried. I got fired. “Just getting my bearings, boss,” I mumbled, looking at my boots. “Agency sent me over.
”
“I am the foreman. I am the manager. I am the god of this little muddy universe,” he sneered, adjusting his sunglasses even though it was overcast. “If you don’t get your ass moving toward that debris pile in the next thirty seconds, I’ll dock your pay before you even clock in.
Move. ”
He pointed toward a pile of twisted metal near the eastern foundation. The exact spot I needed to see. The irony was rich enough to taste.
He was ordering me to inspect the evidence that would eventually hang him. I walked toward the foundation, heart hammering. Not fear. Adrenaline.
I remembered the helplessness of two years ago when the paperwork vanished, when bribes were paid, when I was told to stop being hysterical about structural integrity. They treated safety like a nuisance and me like a nagging housewife. Not this time. I crouched by the debris pile, pretending to sort scrap.
From this angle, I had a clear view of the exposed foundation wall. I pulled a small camera from my pocket, hidden behind the clipboard. The concrete was weeping. White salty streaks running down the gray face meant water was moving through the slab.
In a freeze-thaw state like Pennsylvania, that wasn’t just a defect. It was a ticking time bomb. “Enjoying the view? ” Craig’s voice drifted over, dripping with sarcasm.
He was laughing into his phone from the trailer steps. I snapped a photo of a hairline fracture zigzagging near the footer. “Keep laughing, pretty boy,” I whispered. “I’m just here to measure the coffin.
”
I spent the next hour moving scrap metal, lift, carry, toss, a perfect cover. Nobody looks at the person hauling trash. But my eyes were sharp. That’s when I saw the truck.
A beat-up Ford F-350 with a faded logo: Miller and Sons Earthworks. My stomach dropped. Miller. Same outfit that faked soil density tests on the collapsed strip mall in Erie five years ago.
They had a reputation for burying their mistakes. If Miller was here, the ground we stood on was likely unstable fill packed down with prayers and bribes. I drifted closer, dragging a piece of corrugated metal as a prop. A guy in a Miller vest was arguing with a crane operator.
Restrap Gary. Oily, slippery, always grinning. “Don’t worry about the compaction report,” Gary was saying, spitting tobacco juice onto the gravel. “Craig said to just pour the slab.
We’ll backdate the density test later. Who’s going to check? The city inspector is blind as a bat. ”
I clenched the clipboard so hard the plastic cracked.
They were building a ten-story luxury condo on a foundation of Jell-O. I moved toward the welding crew. An older guy had his mask flipped up, face like crumpled leather, staring at a joint on the main column line, shaking his head. “Heavy load for a Tuesday,” I said, dropping scrap nearby.
He looked at me, saw the vest, the dirt, the weary posture. Saw a fellow grunt. “The weight that worries me is what’s holding it up. ”
“Looks like standard I-beams to me.
”
“These beams are Chinese imports. Recycled scrap steel. Stamped grade fifty, but they grind like grade thirty-six. Soft.
Heat them up too much, they warp like a plastic spoon in a microwave. I told the super, and he told me to crank the voltage and shut my mouth. ”
“That’s illegal,” I said, the words slipping out. “If the tensile strength isn’t rated.
”
He laughed, dry and hacking. “Illegal? Honey, look around. They’re burying tree stumps in the load-bearing zone.
Legal is just a word for too expensive on this job. I got two years till pension. I’m just trying to keep my head down. But I wouldn’t buy a condo here.
I wouldn’t let my dog sleep here. ”
I nodded, pretending to agree, but my mind was racing. Substandard steel, fake soil tests. This wasn’t negligence.
It was a conspiracy of cheapness. I pulled out my phone, pretended to change music, and snapped photos of the beam markings. Shanxi Steel Co. Batch 404.
I remembered a bulletin about that batch. High phosphorus content. Brittle in cold weather. We were in Pennsylvania.
In November. “Hey, you two, is this a coffee break or a construction site? ” Craig’s voice cut through again. He was on the second-floor gantry, looking down like a king.
“And you, trash lady, if I see you standing still again, you’re walking home. ”
I grabbed my debris and moved, head down. “Trash lady,” I whispered. “Keep talking, Craig.
I’m finding plenty of trash. And most of it wears a white hard hat. ”
By noon, the sky was the color of a bruised chin. My back screamed from hauling pipe, but the physical pain was nothing compared to watching this disaster unfold.
I was near the site office, a double-wide trailer on cinder blocks, trying to read the permit board through the window, when the door banged open. Craig stepped out with a woman in a beige trench coat and heels that cost more than my mortgage. Councilwoman Hatcher. The one pushing the Revitalize Our Ridge campaign.
Her smile didn’t reach her eyes. “Craig, the investors are nervous,” she was saying. “The ribbon-cutting is in ten days. The mayor is coming.
The press is coming. ”
“We’re fast-tracking the final structural sign-offs,” Craig said, voice so oily you could fry an egg on it. “Does that mean properly? ” she asked.
He laughed. “It means paperwork is fluid. Don’t worry about the details, Linda. Just worry about the hors d’oeuvres for the gala.
”
I must have leaned too close, because Craig’s head snapped toward me. He marched down the steps, face reddening. “Eavesdropping? What is your obsession with standing around?
Are you deaf or just stupid? ”
He grabbed the clipboard from my hands, my prop, my shield, and threw it into the mud. “Pick it up,” he commanded. I stared at him.
The disrespect was physical. My instinct was to reach for the badge in my back pocket and shut this circus down. I could freeze the site in ten minutes. But if I stopped it now, they’d pay a fine, fire a few subcontractors, and restart in a month.
Craig would get a slap on the wrist. Hatcher would claim ignorance. I needed the kill shot. I swallowed my pride.
It tasted like bile. Slowly, deliberately, I bent down. My knees cracked. I picked up the muddy clipboard.
“Sorry, sir,” I said, voice quiet. “Won’t happen again. ”
“Damn right it won’t,” Craig spat. “You’re lucky I’m desperate for bodies.
Now get out of my sight. Go clean the portable toilets if you can’t handle the heavy lifting. That seems about your speed. ”
Hatcher watched the whole exchange without blinking.
She didn’t look horrified. She looked bored. To her, I wasn’t a person. I was a line item.
I walked away, clutching the dirty clipboard. My hands shook, not from fear, but from the effort not to scream. The welder I’d spoken to looked at me with pity. “Don’t let him get to you.
He’s just a suit. ”
“He’s not a suit,” I whispered back. “He’s a target. ”
In the back of the site, near the porta-potties, I pulled out my phone.
I’d heard enough. “Fast-tracking sign-offs” meant the fix was in at the permit office. I dialed a number I hadn’t called in two years. “Hello?
” A hesitant voice. “Dave. It’s Tanya. Don’t hang up.
I need to know who’s handling the Holloway file at the county office. ”
Silence. Then a sigh. “Tanya, you shouldn’t be poking around there.
It’s marked priority red. Hands off. Goes straight to the deputy director. ”
“The one who just bought a new boat?
”
“I didn’t say that. ”
“You didn’t have to. Meet me tonight. Diner on Route 9.
Bring copies. ”
I hung up. The humiliation burned in my chest, hot and focused. Craig thought he’d broken me.
All he’d done was ensure his own destruction. He wanted the toilets cleaned? Fine. I was about to flush his entire career.
The diner on Route 9 was the kind of place with a sticky menu and coffee that tasted like battery acid. Perfect. Nobody from Craig’s country club world would ever be caught dead here. I sat in a corner booth, nursing coffee, watching headlights sweep across the rain-slicked lot.
At 11 p. m. , Dave walked in. Pale, nervous, clutching a manila envelope like a bomb.
He slid into the booth, refusing to make eye contact. “You look like hell, Tanya,” he said softly. “I look like a laborer. Which is what I am these days.
Apparently. ”
“I heard about the site. Everyone knows it’s the golden child project. The mayor wants it done before the election.
”
“How are they passing inspections? ” I leaned in. “How are they passing soil compaction when I saw them burying tree stumps? How are they passing steel framing when the welds look like bubble gum?
”
Dave hesitated, then slid the envelope across the table. “Open it. ”
Inside were photocopies. Permit #88-92B, foundation approval, signed by nobody.
Stamped “administratively approved per directive 12. ”
“Directive 12? ” I looked up. “Since when does a directive override a physical inspection?
”
“Since the deputy director created it last month,” Dave said, voice trembling. “It allows expedited review based on contractor reputation. Basically, if the developer is on the VIP list, they self-certify. ”
I felt a vein throb in my temple.
“Self-certify? Craig is self-certifying his own safety checks? ”
“It gets worse. ” Dave pointed to the second page.
It was an email chain between Holloway Group and the deputy director’s office. Subject: The problem. From craig@hollowaygroup. com: “We have a potential issue.
There’s a rumor the old inspector, Tanya Redacted, is sniffing around. She’s flagged as disgruntled in the system, right? If she files anything, I need it to go straight to the shredder. We can’t afford delays.
Cracks in the east slab are cosmetic. We’re patching them tomorrow. ”
I read it aloud, the words tasting like poison. “He admits it.
He knows the foundation is failing. ”
“They aren’t cosmetic, Tanya,” Dave said weakly. “I saw them today. Structural shear fractures.
If that building is fully loaded with people and furniture and we get a heavy snow load, that slab shears. We’re talking about a pancaked building. We’re talking about bodies. ”
Dave flinched.
“I know. That’s why I came. I can’t sleep. I signed those papers because I have a mortgage and two kids.
But I can’t have blood on me. ”
I looked at him. He was a coward, yes, but he was a coward who’d handed me the weapon I needed. I tucked the documents into my jacket.
“You did good, Dave. This email chain proves intent. Proves they know the danger and they’re hiding it to meet a deadline. ”
“What are you going to do?
If you go public now, they’ll spin it. They’ll say you’re a crazy, fired ex-employee with a grudge. ”
He was right. The disgruntled flag.
They’d preemptively discredited me. “Not going to the press yet,” I said, standing up. “I need one more thing. I need to catch him in the act of covering it up.
”
“He said they’re patching the cracks tomorrow. ”
“Then tomorrow, I’m going to be there. And I’m going to make sure that patch becomes his tombstone. ”
The next morning, Holloway was buzzing with frantic energy.
Six a. m. , still dark, floodlights blazing. The air smelled of wet cement and desperation.
I was back in my disguise. Same vest, same boots, same invisible status. But inside, I was vibrating. The documents from Dave were tucked into my jacket lining.
A crew was already at the east slab. Not structural repair specialists. Finishers. Guys with trowels and buckets of quick patch, the high-strength epoxy meant for surface blemishes.
You use quick patch to fix a chipped step. You don’t use it to glue a crumbling foundation back together. “Make it look smooth,” Craig was barking, coffee cup in hand. “The inspectors are coming for the final walk-through at two p.
m. If they see a single hairline crack, we’ll fire every one of you. ”
One of the finishers hesitated. “Boss, this crack is deep.
I stuck a trowel in two inches. The rebar inside looks rusted through. ”
“Did I ask for structural analysis? I asked for surface finish.
Fill it. Smooth it. Paint it with the gray sealant. By the time it dries, it’ll look like virgin concrete.
”
I watched them pour epoxy into the wound of the building. A band-aid on a severed artery. A young guy in a white hard hat, a junior engineer fresh out of college, walked up to Craig holding a tablet. “Craig, I’m looking at the load calculations.
If we pour the topping slab today, the added weight on this fractured section drops the safety factor below one-point-zero. It could shear. ”
“What’s your name, kid? ”
“Kevin,” he stammered.
“Well, Kevin, do you like your job? In the real world, we don’t live in a textbook. We live in deadlines. The safety factor is whatever I say it is.
We have a variance from the city. ”
“But the variance doesn’t change physics,” Kevin whispered. “Get off my site. Go sit in the trailer and process invoices.
If I hear another word about physics from you, you’ll be blacklisted in the state before lunch. ”
Kevin looked at the crack being filled with goo, looked at Craig, and walked away. He chose his paycheck over his integrity. I didn’t blame him.
He was young. He was scared. But I wasn’t young. And I wasn’t scared.
I waited until Craig moved off to yell at a forklift driver. I dropped my broom, stepped over the caution tape, and knelt by the patch. The epoxy was still tacky. I shoved the end of a zip tie into the goop.
It sank deep. Void space. A hollow pocket underneath. Click, click, click.
I got the shots. The wet patch, the rusted rebar visible through the goo, the timestamp. “Hey, you! ” The finisher stared at me, trowel in hand.
“What the hell are you doing? ”
I stood up. “Craig sent me. Wants a progress photo for the daily log.
”
He squinted, then shrugged. “Whatever. Tell him it’s drying fast. ”
I walked to the perimeter fence and slipped out.
I stripped off the vest and threw it in the truck bed. Inside the cab was a garment bag. My official state uniform. Navy blazer with the seal of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Gray slacks. ID badge on a lanyard. A white, pristine hard hat with the word INSPECTOR stenciled across the front. I checked my watch.
Ten a. m. The final walk-through was at two. Craig was expecting a corrupt city official who’d sign papers and take a bribe.
He wasn’t expecting me. At the gas station, I changed. Buttoning the crisp white shirt, I didn’t see the tired, middle-aged woman anymore. I saw the Grim Reaper of bad architecture.
I applied red lipstick, the color of a stop sign. “Okay, Craig,” I told my reflection. “Let’s see how you handle a woman who doesn’t clean toilets. ”
At 1:45 p.
m. , I parked around the block and walked to the edge of the site, staying out of sight behind the porta-potties. The transformation was nauseating. Fresh straw over the mud.
Debris piles gone. Flags snapping in the wind. A small crowd gathered near the main entrance. Expensive cars.
Councilwoman Hatcher in a hard hat that looked like a fashion accessory, laughing with investors in suits, drinking sparkling water from plastic flutes. Celebrating a tomb. Craig was in the center, beaming, gesturing at the building. He had no idea that ten miles away, in the state database, a red flag had just popped up on his file.
I’d spent the last hour in the gas station parking lot, tethering my laptop to my phone, uploading everything. The photos of the cracks. The audio recording of the welder. The email chain.
The photo of the patch job. I attached it all to a Category One Stop Work Order. The nuclear option. Revokes the occupancy permit, freezes bank draws, mandates a forensic structural audit.
A career ender. I hit submit at 1:55 p. m. Status: filed.
Authority: T. Miller, State Inspector. Now it was real. Now they were technically trespassing on a condemned site.
I adjusted my blazer. It felt like armor. I clipped my badge to my lapel so it caught the light. I watched Craig shake hands with the city building official, the guy Dave said was blind as a bat.
The official was holding a clipboard, ready to sign. He didn’t look at the building. He looked at the catering table. “So, Craig, we’re good for the ribbon cutting?
” Hatcher said. “No last-minute surprises? ”
“Zero surprises, Linda. This building is solid as a rock.
We came in under budget and ahead of schedule. That’s the Holloway promise. ”
“Solid as a rock,” I muttered. “More like solid as a lie.
”
I stepped out from behind the porta-potties. The gravel crunched under my clean boots. I walked with the heavy, rhythmic stride of the law. The security guard at the gate raised his hand, saw the uniform, saw the badge, saw my face.
His hand dropped. “Afternoon, ma’am. ”
“Afternoon. ”
I walked straight down the center of the access road.
Heads turned. First the investors, confused by a new figure who clearly wasn’t there for the champagne. Then Hatcher, her smile faltering as she recognized the state seal. And finally Craig.
He was mid-laugh when he sensed the silence spreading through the group. He turned around. His eyes locked onto me. At first, no recognition.
Just annoyance. Then he looked closer. Saw the same eyes that had looked at him from the mud yesterday. The same eyes he’d told to clean the toilets.
The color drained from his face so fast it looked like someone pulled a plug. I stopped ten feet away. I didn’t yell. I spoke with the calm, terrifying volume of a woman who holds all the aces.
“Craig. We need to talk about the East Foundation. ”
Absolute silence. Even the distant highway hum seemed to vanish.
“Who is this? ” Hatcher’s voice was sharp. “Craig, is this one of yours? ”
Craig swallowed hard.
“This is—she’s nobody. There must be a mistake. Ma’am, you need to leave. This is a private event.
”
I pulled a folded document from my inside pocket. The printed confirmation of the stop work order. “I’m not nobody, Craig. I’m Tanya Miller, senior structural inspector for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
You might remember me better as the trash lady you ordered to clean the toilets yesterday. ”
A gasp rippled through the investors. “Yesterday? ” Craig stammered, a bead of sweat tracking through his bronzer.
“I’ve never seen you before in my life. ”
“Really? ” I smiled. “Because I have a distinct memory of you throwing my clipboard into the mud right over there.
And I have a memory of you telling your finishing crew to cover up a structural shear fracture with epoxy and gray paint. ”
Craig’s laugh was high-pitched. “This is ridiculous. She’s crazy.
Security, get her off the property. ”
Two guards started toward me. I turned my gaze on them. “Take one more step, and you will be charged with obstructing a state investigation.
Felony. You want to go to jail for this guy? ”
The guards froze. They looked at Craig, then at my badge.
They backed down. The city official stepped forward, nervous. “What is she talking about? I signed off on the foundation myself.
”
“You signed a piece of paper, Bob. You didn’t inspect anything. Did you check the density logs? Did you check the steel stamps?
”
“We have a trust-based system,” he stuttered. “Well, trust just expired. ”
I walked past them, straight toward the building. “Follow me, all of you.
Unless you want to buy a condo that’s going to collapse before the first mortgage payment clears. ”
I knew they’d follow. Money is cowardly, but it’s also curious. I walked to the east slab.
The patch was dry now. Smooth, gray, solid. A masterpiece of deception. “Look at this,” Craig shouted, running after me.
“It’s flawless. There’s no crack. ”
I stopped at the patch. I turned to the group.
Hatcher stood pale. The investors whispered. “Craig says this is solid concrete. Says it’s safe for your families.
Safe for your children. ”
I reached into my pocket and pulled out a heavy steel chipping hammer, the tool we use to test concrete hardness. “What are you doing? ” Craig shrieked.
“That’s vandalism! ”
“It’s quality control. ”
I swung the hammer. Crack.
I barely hit it. I didn’t have to. The hammer broke through the thin layer of epoxy like an eggshell. The gray crust fell away, revealing the dark, gaping void underneath.
A chunk of concrete vanished into the hollow space below. The crowd gasped. I hooked the hammer into the hole and pulled. A large section of patch ripped away, exposing the rusted, twisted rebar I’d photographed yesterday.
It looked like the jagged teeth of a skull. “That,” I said, pointing with the hammer, “is a structural failure. Not a cosmetic blemish. A death sentence.
”
I turned to Craig. He was shaking. A child caught stealing from the collection plate. “You filled a load-bearing fracture with glue.
And you invited the mayor to stand on top of it. ”
Hatcher stepped forward, face a mask of fury. She looked at the hole, then at Craig. “Craig.
Is this true? ”
“It’s—it’s just a minor issue. We were going to fix it properly later, after the funding came through. Standard industry practice.
”
“It is not standard practice to commit fraud,” I snapped. “Or to falsify safety records. ”
I pulled out the email chain and handed it to Hatcher. “Just so we’re clear on the intent portion of the lawsuit.
Here’s the email where Craig admits the foundation is failing and orders the cover-up to hide it from me. ”
She read it. Her hands shook. She looked up at Craig with eyes that promised murder.
“You idiot,” she whispered. “You absolute idiot. ”
Craig looked around for an ally. The investors were backing away.
The city official was trying to disappear into the crowd. He was alone. “Save it for the deposition,” I said. Panic spread.
Investors were already on their phones, calling lawyers, desperate to pull money out before the news broke. I turned to the foreman. “Shut it down. Kill the power.
Kill the engines. This site is officially condemned under state code 409. ”
The foreman looked at Craig. Craig stared at his boots, the same way I’d stared at mine yesterday.
But I’d been acting. He was broken. The foreman grabbed his radio. “All units, shut it down.
Code red stop work order. ”
The generator died. The beeping of trucks silenced. The grinders stopped screaming.
Thick, heavy silence descended on Holloway Ridge. Only the wind whistling through shoddy steel beams. I walked up to Craig, holding the official condemnation notice with the bright red sticker. “Take it,” I said, holding out the envelope.
“Tanya,” he whispered. “Please. If you file this, I’m done. I’ll lose my license.
I’ll lose the company. My dad. ”
“Your dad should have taught you better. You ordered a kid to sign off on a death trap.
You treated your workers like trash. You treated me like trash. But mostly, you treated the safety of human beings like a line item you could delete. ”
I slapped the envelope against his chest.
He grabbed it. “You are hereby served. You have twenty-four hours to vacate the equipment. State police will be here in an hour to secure the perimeter and seize your records.
”
“Police? ” Craig choked. “Fraud is a crime, Craig. And risking catastrophic collapse is reckless endangerment.
You better call a lawyer. A good one. ”
I turned to Hatcher. She was still holding the email, looking like she wanted to vomit.
“Councilwoman, I suggest you issue a statement distancing yourself from Holloway Group immediately. Unless you want your name on the indictment too. ”
“I didn’t know, I swear. ”
“Then you should have looked closer.
That’s your job. ”
I turned my back. I walked past stunned investors. Past security guards who wouldn’t meet my eyes.
At the gate, I saw Kevin standing by the trailer. Terrified, but relieved. I stopped. “Hey, Kevin.
”
He jumped. “Yes, ma’am. ”
“Next time, don’t let the suits scare you. Physics doesn’t care about their deadlines.
Physics always wins. ”
I walked out the gate. The sun finally broke through the clouds, casting harsh light on the half-finished skeleton. It looked like a ruin.
Behind me, a car engine roared to life. A siren wailed in the distance. The machinery of justice was slow. But once it started, it ground everything to dust.
I sat in my truck, parked a mile down the road, back in my T-shirt, staring at the Pennsylvania hills. My hands shook, adrenaline crash hitting like a physical blow. I popped a lukewarm diet Coke and took a long sip. It tasted like victory.
My phone blew up. Texts from the office. A text from Dave: “You did it. Holy sh*t, you actually did it.
”
A news alert popped up: “Holloway development halted amidst safety scandal. State inspector alleges massive fraud. ” There was a picture of Craig being escorted to his car by police. The article mentioned anonymous tips and heroic oversight.
I chuckled. Heroic. Nothing heroic about it. Just gravity.
People like Craig think the world is built on handshakes and appearances. They think if you paint over the rot, the rot goes away. But I know better. Rust never sleeps.
A hairline fracture, ignored, will eventually bring down a tower. I looked at the dashboard. There was a crack in the plastic above the speedometer. It had been there for years.
It didn’t affect the engine or the brakes. Just a reminder that things break. But some things, you don’t let break. I started the engine.
The old Ford rumbled to life, sounding healthier than that entire multi-million-dollar construction site. I wasn’t going to get a medal or a raise. In a week, Hatcher would spin this to make herself look like the victim. Holloway Group would file for bankruptcy and reopen under a new name.
The cockroaches always find another dark corner. But not today. And not that building. I put the truck in drive.
“Solid as a rock,” I whispered, mimicking Craig’s voice. I turned up the radio and drove away, leaving the dust and the lawyers behind. I had a septic tank inspection in Altoona tomorrow. It would smell terrible.
It would be dirty. It would be thankless. But at least it wouldn’t be full of shit like Craig.
