how do you wanna face it? when the end is so close you can taste it
I watch as Jack leaves in a huff, keeping silent through his temper tantrum. Boy doesn’t like change, but it’s comin, like hell or high water. He’ll have to figure out how to work with it or sink like a boat run aground. Shifting my gaze back to Zeph after Jack leaves, I mutter, “Looks like someone forgot that respect and friendship is a two way street. Fuckin’ cunt.”
Well. Someone will also find out his tab’s due next time he steps into the Hanged Man.
Turning my attention to Zeph, I listen to his concerns and shrug. “I honestly don’t know, but I know I ain’t aimin’ to put you out of a job and I don’t want this position to be public, cause it’ll fuck with business. There’s a reason I ain’t dancin’ up there with him ‘n the rest of his Outlander crew.” Shaking my head, I can’t help but also sound a little bitter about it. No, none of us had stepped up, but -
Ah, well. You rarely get what you want in life. A lesson we both know well.
“I’m bettin’ it’s got more to do with info than an official go-between. Which means we control it.”
And if Jack had fucking stuck around, he’d have really liked that idea. Sucks for him.
