oh dear lord. What’s Fox gotten her into this time?

        “Yeah, he ain’t exactly  p l e a s a n t .
          He’s… uh…”

                Well, fuck. She’s not s’posed to talk about
                him and his business. But shit, this dude
                didn’t seem like good news either.
                                   fuck it. she’s boned either way.

         ”Crime lord.  Basically owns Chicago.
           He’s a pretty nice guy, once you get
           past the whole organized crime thing.
           Dunno what he wants with you, though.
           Who are you, anyway?”

                  ” ’m called nuntius.
                       an’ that’s all you needa know. “

             sprinkling in a little wordplay here & there
             can’t hurt  ;  especially since  it looks like
             she’s already a little freaked. & hey, it sounds cool.

             and okay, maybe he’s always wanted to play gangster.

                  ” define ’nice guy’. “

              call him curious,
                 but he’s kept a relatively low profile
                 in this city so far. meaning that this crime boss guy
                 must have a damn good reason for bugging him, &
                 not just because he’s watched the godfather too many times.
