So, this is your chance to return the favor.

Hunter: What’s in it for me?

You’d make your big brother very happy.

Hunter: …

Fiiiiine. And I’ll owe you.

This will not affect the previous agreement, though.

Those plans have been in the works for too long. They were entirely irrevocable.

Hunter: No shit.

Will you do it?

Hunter: Why me? Surely you could get any of your guys to do it for you?

Could I get someone else to do this forme? Sure.

But Hunter was one of the few people I trusted implicitly, and I didn’t want anyone else looking into mylittle devil.

Would you let just anyone go through your girl’s files?

Hunter: Point taken.

Hunter: What do you know about her?

Her name is Adelaide Romano. She’s from the outskirts of Miami, and her family used to own a bakery.

Hunter: That’s all?

She’s also been convicted of fraud for ghostwriting an online dating profile.

Hunter: … I don’t know what to say.

I know, isn’t she intriguing?

Hunter: Intriguing isn’t the word I would’ve used, but okay.

When can I expectto hear back?

Hunter: Give me a day or two.

Hunter: So you don’t even know what this girl looks like?

Nope.

Hunter: I have no words.

Hunter: Gotta go. Practice. Talk soon.

Bye little bro

Hunter: Stop calling me that.

It took Hunter two fucking days to get back to me. Two. Fucking. Days.
