Isabelle had made him a drink.

"How's the neighbourhood? Pretty quiet mostly, or..." He asked.

"What's going on?" Isabelle asked.

"Just some ugliness's bleeding in from the city. We try to stay on top of it. You seen anything weird?"

"Like what?"

"You know, people that don't quite fit the vibe here." He asked and she shook her head. "Let me know if you see anything out of the ordinary."

"I will. And thank you, Agent Turner." Isabelle smiled.

"Jimmy." He told her before he left.

"Maybe we should lay low for a while." Isabelle told the others.

"What do you mean lay low for a while?" Annie asked.

"I mean we shouldn't clean a bunch of counterfeit money when the FBI is on our trail."

"It was your idea!"

"Can you all keep it down, please?" Ruby asked.

"Look. They're not 'on our trail,' okay?" Beth told her.

"He was literally in my kitchen." Isabelle said.

"Stan is in my bedroom." Ruby pointed out.

"If the guy knew anything, he would've just said it." Annie added.

"He gave his card to me."

"Look, I got fancy lawyer bills coming out the wazoo, dog. I talked to her for 15 minutes it cost me $800."

"You know how much a criminal layer costs?" Beth asked.

"I need this payday. We didn't get the last one."

"We all need it. But let's not be stupid
about it." Ruby said.

"What's stupid is if we screw this up
because gang friend is not gonna give us another shot." Annie stated.

"Gang friend?"

"Probably some teenagers stole an Xbox or something. I promise you it was nothing."

"It wasn't nothing. It was the FBI." 

"Okay, so it was two Xbox's."
