I'd rather read Nancy Drew than the Hardy Boys.

Does she do comic books? I've got stacks of them just sitting around.

[jolting]

Her dad was into them at her age, so you can give it a try.

Biological dad.

I don't know if I made that clear. That I adopted her.

[deploy]

I'll give Jim a box at work.

Did you know her biological dad?

Jim told me.

[jolting]

Ever since he was a baby.

Did James explain that, too?

It's a long story.

[deploy]

Uh, nope.

He didn't give me the details.

Sounds like it, but if we've got one thing in this place? It's time. A lot of it.

[jolting]

Then I guess we have a conversation starter when we go out for drinks.

[deploy]

I was thinking.

Maybe we should go for coffee.

[jolting]

Coffee is a drink, last I checked.

So sure.

[deploy]

Don't be a smart-ass.

You know what I meant.

[jolting]

I had to get at least one shot in.

And yeah, I know what you mean. Coffee sounds good.

[deploy]

Know a place?

I keep drinking the crap from the vending machine.

[jolting]

Yeah. There's a place I like to go on my breaks. We can meet there.

[handwave location]

[deploy]

Cool.

When do you want to meet? Not tonight.

I'm already... kinda buzzed.

[jolting]

Why don't we meet before my shift? I'll need the caffeine anyway since I'm doing a later shift.

[deploy]

Sounds good.

Should be after mine, so as long as you don't mind me showing up a little worse for wear.

[Not that Victor has seen him any other way.]

[jolting]

You have a rough job. Look whatever way you want.
