Jimmy made sure his hands were clean in case there was a raid.“Alright, Jimmy, how’s it going, man?”Jimmy rolled his eyes as Disco Dave stumbled...past. Dave was a liability, known to take as much of the merchandise for personal use as he sold on. There were rumours he let girls pay for their drugs by getting them to piss on him. Jimmy just shook his head as he watched Dave career into a wall, unsteady on his feet already as he went to walk past.“Hey, Jimmy,” Dave slurred. “Is it true you pissed. No. Well, yeah, that's part of it. But..." But you're enjoying being treated like a responsible adult instead of Mandy and Marek's little brat?"She sighed. "Yeah, I guess that's part of it, too. Even though I work harder here than I do at home with them."I leaned forward enough to kiss the center of her chest. "There you do it because you're ordered to. Here you do it because you know it needs doing and you're treated like someone smart enough to realize it for herself and allowed to act. "You are to be our justice?" "I'm here." You are not the monster who destroyed my Lilly. He who-" She turned away, and when she looked back, her eyes glistened. "You are not ~he~."I tried to imagine what they were feeling - the hideous crime to theirsister, the Selenes' cry for a reckoning, months of bureaucraticstonewalling, and finally, the earth-shaking admission of guilt by theking. Was he to take his punishment? Would even he be subject to thelaw?Then, instead of King Amangons at. "You lie. The grease would make it easier, better, for you" she stressed sweetly, "and you bought oil-based, at that" challenging him with what he knew to be her irrefutable insight, "because you want a long, thorough ride, merciless and leaving nothing to our imaginations." Maggie leaned in very close and put her lips to his ear, still not wanting, after all these years, to meet his eyes when she stated their only one, really, terrible truth; she spoke to him in a whisper so soft as to be just.
