So maybe just cutting off my credit card. Again.

You've ever had a relationship like this one?
When you don't really know what to do?

[flippin_peachy]

There are worse things.

I have.

[hawk_shot]

Okay, maybe. Yes.
It's still pretty bad.

How did it turn out?

[flippin_peachy]

Perhaps you should think about having some savings then, for a rainy day and all that.

Sadly she was killed before we could find out.

[hawk_shot]

Kinda tough in NY.
And when your boss is your mom.

... shit, Alfred.
I'm so sorry.

[flippin_peachy]

She can't fire you if you do something in your regular life she doesn't agree with.

Thank you.
Her name was Esme, she was a lovely woman but there were times that neither of us knew what we were doing together. Didn't stop us from loving one another though.

If only mom got that memo.

At least that's pretty common, isn't it? Feeling like you don't know what you are doing.
Did she have an accident?

[flippin_peachy]

I'll remind her.

It's hard to have all the answers, especially when you're young.
No. She was murdered.

You're like some british fairy godfather, did you know that?

Does it get better as you grow older?
Shit.
That's horrible. I'm so, so very sorry.

[flippin_peachy]

I wasn't aware of it but I'm going to assume it's a good thing.

A tiny bit.
So am I, I was the reason she was killed.

[hawk_shot]

Assume away.
I'll get you a badge with it for Christmas.

Well, that's something to look forward to, at least.
Someone was targeting you??

[flippin_peachy]

That's very kind of you, miss.

More like someone wanted to hurt me so they killed her.

It was my old army commander.

[hawk_shot]

Hey, the least I can do for my new coach.
And family friend.

Was that dipshit arrested??
It's so insane that people even think of doing something like that!!

[flippin_peachy]

Which reminds me, we should schedule another lesson sometime soon.

No.
He was the son of a very influential Lord who called in a favor, so the murder was covered up.

[hawk_shot]

Do you have time next week?

I can't believe how some people can just get away with some things. And the world keeps going.

[flippin_peachy]

I can spare an afternoon next Wednesday if that works for you.

Oh he didn't exactly get away with it.
