Jon goes to the wall, trying to listen.]] ??: ’’[[bleep]], where the [[bleep]] is that [[dang, stop cursing man..]]?!’’ "... yikes, maybe tone down the swears..?" [[?? stops... Jon starts to panic, going over to close and lock the door.

He goes right through Garce, but doesn't notice, turning around when he hears someone coming, aiming his g^n at the doorway.]] BF- ".... ¶;<()..?" [[Pico sighs, lowering his g^n.]] P: ’’Boyd.. Why the hell are you here?’’ BF- [well, why are you here? I thought you were back in America..] P: ’’It’s a long story, Boyd.. Dearest told me he had a loose end he wanted me to tie…’’ "....! he means me and Garce.." [[Pico turns, aiming his g^n at Jon, but Boyd goes in between the two, speaking in rapid-fire Beep.. that Pico understands..? Pico's torn between disobeying his boss to hear Boyd out and doing the deed... the lights flicker for a few moments.]] ".... ... You know this job will end in failure, right? You honestly think taking a simple person who just happened to fall into the spider’s web of plans was going to be quick?"
