“It was a pleasure, thank you for granting us some of your time. Now if you excuse us…” Maximum nods to acknowledge the pleasant time he had with you all before departing.
“Hey! We put him on the spot in front of two nice ladies, and we’re not going to dignify him with our takes? I’d love to hear their answer too!” Gamadiel complains to his brother who is too busy now with their lawyer. He shakes his head and sighs. “I guess that ship sailed once the lieutenant left. It was fun, guys.” He extends his hand.
“I’m sure my superior feels the same way.” Yareli shakes the man’s hand. Gamadiel turns to you.
Not wanting to look impolite, you shake his hand as well.
“By the way…” Gamadiel drags you closer and starts whispering. “Max likes them well-endowed, and, uh, thirsty for social reforms…?” He couldn’t find the right words to describe it. “And personally, I like a chick who has my back at all times. Har Har Har!” He smacks your back before walking away, joyful to finally say his piece. In your opinion, both guys are weird in their own way.
“I’ll show them the way to the criminal’s cell. It was nice seeing you, Phil.” Yareli is as impassive as ever. It’s hard for you to take her words at face value, but deep down, you feel like she’s being truthful.
This doesn’t mean this is time for you to go! No, sir! You’re going to sneak by Vanessa’s side to meet the two new individuals you feel are vaguely familiar!
…She’s standing a few feet from them, the tip of her fingers bouncing from each other under the cloth of her gloves, waiting for an opening.
“Why are you standing here…?” You wonder. There’s nothing for you to sneak into if nothing is going on!
“Oh! Mr. Noon! Well, they’re so enthralled discussing the painting on the wall that it doesn’t feel right to interrupt!” Vanessa didn’t expect you to show up! She’s glad to have you around.
