Dumb up

     "Maybe there'll be a break. Don't volunteer. The old rule. We'll make them find us. That's the first thing. If they do - when they do - none of this. You understand? You weren't there. You don't know anything." He looked at her, hard. "You'll do that?" he asked. "Dumb up? Most people talk themselves into holes. What you don't say won't hurt you."

(from Murder Is Served, by Richard and Frances Lockridge)
