Sorry, Lu. Not everyone has the green to fly nicely. Besides! I was going to set us up a nice little date, screw the tickets, if it'd worked out I'd be bringing you to me in style instead of showing up here. I'd even planned on shaving for it. Would have worn my best shirt too.
[No, that wasn't how it would have gone down at all. And the sarcasm is real, but so was the earlier idea to do a ritual.] But like I said, this involves someone else. And I'm being watched.
[John almost wishes he'd done it, even if he was sure that he couldn't get away with it. Manny is always just out of sight, dropping in when he's needed least to be as little help as possible.] Sure, it's dull to you, but it's a big deal to the rest of us.
[It's so hard to keep his temper under control. He's so irritated already, and the rest of that whiskey goes from glass to stomach fast. He sets the glass back down, shakes his head, and gets back to it.] Does the name Manny ring a bell at all? I figured you two might be acquainted. And he's been very invested in me lately.
