SINNERS & SAINTS GROUP CHAT
Jace: Next acquisition I do, I’m going to need an IV drip of whiskey straight into my veins. Just spent twelve hours trying to save three hundred jobs because some trust-fund CEO thinks legally binding contracts are suggestions.
Jace: More like trying to stop some vulture capitalist from destroying families for a quick profit. My lawyers are as homicidal as I am right now. Speaking of prison …
Axel: Smooth transition. But, yeah, anyone got Knox’s new burner number? Been trying to add him to these chats.
Ryker: For the love of God, no more phones. He spent a week in solitary for the last one. We’re trying to keep his record clean for parole.
Jace: Do you think he has a chance at parole this time?
Axel: What, you think they won’t release our favorite murderer? *grimacing teeth emoji*
Ryker: Call him that again, and I’ll personally ensure you need a lawyer.
Me: How’s he holding up?
Ryker: Better than any of us would. Says the prison book club is reading Fifty Shades of Grey.
Axel: No way.
Ryker: I’m kidding, moron.
Jace: Maybe we should just break him out. I’ve got the resources.
Ryker: Don’t even joke. He needs to keep his spirits up, guys.
Axel: In that case, should I tell him about my mysterious rash?
Everyone: NO.
