“How do you know about that?”

“Hank. Is he single?”

“You interested?”

“Syn.”

“That’s extortion.”

“I learn from the best.”

“Dare?”

“He’s good, but there’s another who gives him a run for his money.”

“What kind of company you keeping, Syn?”

“The kind that has my back and I have theirs.”

“We’re not taking new members.”

“What if I’m your guy?”

“Sorry, champ, but an odd number would disrupt our flow and three’s a crowd.”

“What’s that mean?”

“I can take care of my own shit, Pixie Dust.”

“Then why hire me as your PA?”

“It’s complicated.”

“How so?”
