"Relax Selene"

"So it's not an ambush?"

"It's not"

Pérez stomps hard on the brake to avoid hitting someone.

"They're everywhere, like cockroaches" I shudder at the thought of a million cockroaches running rampant in the streets.

Pérez lets out a deep laugh.

"Good evening Boss" deep voices rumble a greeting as they bow.

Jason barely acknowledges anyone as he heads for the door.

"Rude"

"Well, you did not leave him in a good mood, avoiding him here and there"

"As I said, it wasn't my fault"

"The Boss is not in a good mood as you all can tell, you may retire"

"Yes Ma'am"

The black cockroaches disappear in a matter of seconds.

"Selene, what exactly did you say to Jason, he wouldn't even talk to me"

"Pérez can explain, tell her Rez"

"Why me?"

"Cause I can't explain it myself"

"So..."

Pérez narrates the whole thing.

"Are you against joining the Mafia?"

"No"

"Then?"
