(Equi and I are in the middle of a conversation?)

“Really? Huh,” Skyla remarked. That was interesting. She supposed it made sense, different emotions putting different adrenaline through hits. “Busted a hole? That’s something. I can’t say I’m surprised though.”

"It was quite the pain to get her to stop trying to have Sekhmet killed after that incident." Brett sighed. "But, negotiations are my strong suit, thankfully."

Andy looked out and whispered "I wonder what we'll do when she gets back"

"Andy, you've been a womanizer for years...." Jason said quietly "You must really have it bad for her"

"I miss her so much" Andy stated "I don't know what's going to happen afterwards...but when I save her...it'll be the happiest day of my life"

"Andy," Jason said quietly "When you save her, after she's had time, I think you should marry her" there was a quiet amongst Andy and Jason after he said this. "You've never felt like this about anyone, and it's clear she loves you too. I..."

"I already have a ring" Andy admitted looking down a bit.

"Specifically the conversation we had while I was still a prisoner," Skyla clarified. "Helping me see the truth of everything."

"I see. It felt right to do, and that's our policy. Do what's right, whatever it takes." Brett replied. "Even if the methods to get you here weren't my favorite choice."

Andy looked at Jason and asked "So why the sudden visit?"

Jason sighed "I just needed to be with you. Kim and I are fighting about...my back obviously"

"Hate to take the side of your girl, but Kim's right" Andy said with a sigh "You can only risk it for so long, Jason. Eventually that luck is gonna run out"

Jason looked at the table a bit as he asked "So what do I do?"

"My advice? Clean up your club and run it and be happy with Kim" Andy said with a sighing smile. "Without Tyler's coffee shop, folks don't have a neutral ground anymore. I think it would be best if you took that place"

Jason smiled a bit saying "yeah...I think Kim would like that too"

Andy looked at Jason then asked something "Speaking of Kim, I've been curious about something. What made you fall for her?"

"He should have gotten a note to her by now," Skyla said. "Not that it said much, on purpose. The Yakuza are here, one of them is working at the nightclub," she seemed to pause as she remembered now. Mimi was in Facina. "Oh, shit. Emika is here. I...completely forgot."

"Hm, someone I should look into getting rid of?" Brett asked.

Jason sighed and said "I do" admitting it to his brother "I love Kim, do not get me wrong. That woman is my hero, she's been so good to me, better than any woman would reasonably been. However...I just...there was always a stronger connection between me and Aska" he sighed "Maybe if I was quicker...or..."

"Imma stop you right there" Andy said sitting up "Aska took her own life, you didn't drive her to it. You didn't make her do it. You weren't the reason. She seemed like someone who took failure very seriously...maybe to a fault." He then said "And also, why do you miss her? She shot you...and when you survived that she stuck an axe in your shoulder and threw you into a lake. It's a mircal you didn't get gangreen!"

"I'm not sure a head would make it through customs," Skyla replied.
