Zoe dropped down in a space next to GK on the roof. "What would you say if somebody offered you something you really wanted and all you had to do in return was a job here and there and it paid pretty good?"

	"If I say 'a better chance at getting the Triangle situated with you,' do I count as being serious, or am I being overoptimistic?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd like to say I'm joking, but I'm not. Look, I was hired to be part of a team. My conditions are I don't help pimps or child molesters. In return, I get paid and they'll help me clean up the Triangle. But it's not the kind of thing you can just walk away from if you don't like what they're doing and tell somebody about."

	"Zoe, this doesn't sound entirely healthy for you." Pause. "And you've already done it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Healthy?" She shook her head. "Look at where we're sitting. This entire place isn't healthy, but it's getting there. Faster than it would have been if I was still throwing rocks and hating the cops. I've made enough that Mom could close her practice tomorrow and never work again. She could really go pro bono if she wanted to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"But how would you tell her?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can't. She's safe as long as she doesn't know, but it /could/ happen." Zoe blew out a sigh. Explaining how the security of knowing the money was there was better than actually spending it to a trust fund baby might just be impossible for somebody like her whose family lived on the edge all her life. "The boss wants to meet with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's one of those out-of-my-league concepts, isn't it?" GK, sometimes, manages to get that he doesn't get things. "Your boss wants to meet with the guy with a swordstick? I didn't know how to shoot until you taught me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	zoe_torres 2011-06-30 03:36 pm UTC (link)
	"No, GK, the concept isn't out of your league, it's probably below your notice." She gave him a half smile. "It's okay. Just how it is. Anyway, yeah, she wants to meet you. It's not all guns and targets. You and me teamed up just fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, well, if it's going to help what we're doing here, I'm in." (Reply to this)(Parent)
