So we were going to have to find a way to talk to the "boss man" without getting killed in the process.

He'd opened up a bit, but now, he was back to being the big boss man.

It's only the boss man who's got the inside track on this.

"I see they left little boss man to hold down the fort."

You're the boss man of the mine and you couldn't make a better witness.

"The boss man has been listening to the Dead all day," he answered.

Looks as if there are about two dozen natives, and maybe one boss man.

And the boss man swung a big fist at my face.

The boss man lined up for another shot at my gut.

I figured the boss man must have choked to death.
