I forget to mention I’m giving you fifteen minutes to get to the center? If you don’t get there by then, I’m going to throw in another bottle I have to simulate a Council self-destruct.” He grinned. “Don’t worry. It won’t kill you, just really, really hurt you. James has authorized me to use healing potions for this exercise, so at least you won’t die.”

“I say stick the boys in suits. That can be our Brownstone Agency trademark. We’ll be the best-looking sonsabitches in LA. Nothing wrong with going legit after you’ve proven you’re badasses.” Trey agreed, and starts to develop a new personae, one with better English grammar (He marveled at Trey. The gang leader could switch up his language in an instant to whatever people expected. It was a good strategy, because it made people underestimate his intelligence.) and vocabulary, better dressed ("slick"), smarter (wears armor and protection when goes out on the job), and is reading more, as one of his new mottoes is “The more you know, the less you die."( Sun Tzu, The Art of War) Trey believes in trying non-violence first (My name is Trey Garfield.
