Whyoff pieces of ht not have said that last part" Jack glanced over his shoulder in anored the rage and tried to think through it "So, you’ve been working with Lorenzo fros in Dublin Then you just switched over to the elixir But Lorenzo is dead, so who’s giving it to you now?"

Jack only laughed and crouched down so they were face-to-face, et away, too Just like he did You won’t"

"I will, actually I’er than you"

He was strangely unconcerned about the idea of Carwyn killing hi very valuable from you, Father Always make your enemies underestimate you Who would think a ridiculous priest in a Hawaiian shirt was the lanced over at Brigid "But then again, you won’t want to chance your favorite little va his hands in his pockets lazily Carwyn crouched in a corner of the cage

"What do you want? Jack, is it? You took us for a reason"

Jack shrugged "It was getting harder and harder to deter Brigid And I was never quite sure if she would re ot hi just irl You were just a bonus Had no idea you’d be at her house that night Good luck for id snarl from the far wall, and he smirked "You’re not very smart, are you?"

"I certainly rin took over his face "Rascal Jack behind the drug trafficking? Not even Murphy caught it But then, he was always so s" Carwyn paused "Wait, no, I haven’t, you idiot" He rocked forward, studying Jack "Right now you’re a deaddead man Even if I don’t kill you, Murphy will But if you run now, you o Just leave us here and run--or swim--as fast as you can I’ll catch up with you eventually, but you nored hiht, by the way Lorenzo was a puppet, which hy I pursued my own connections after he left Ireland I always kneould fail He was too emotional But the people I ith now?" Jack s less Makes them nice and predictable Not unlike you, Father"

"Oh?"

"Yes You see, I know that you can break out of that cage easily, but you’ll try to lullyou information before you do Predictable Just so you know, you’re not going to be able to stop this elixir It’s out there On the wind, so to speak In so rubby hands and dirty alleys that you’d have to burn down the world to contain it So don’t try to be a hero" Jack rolled his eyes "You’ll ignore uredto irritate Carwyn, and he didn’t seeive up any information Which made him less and less valuable as the ht, but my supplier wants a ith you Forced me to trade the two of you for ets here"

Well, that was slightly interesting "Oh? When ht that be?"

"As if I would tell you"

"Why not? You see alive Just two lads chatting"

"And Brigid" He glanced over his shoulder "So you bagged Brigid Really, who can blame you? She’s marvelous But that probably means you don’t want her hurt" Jack cocked his head "Of course, I don’t want her to light up either, so it appears we’re both stuck for the ti"

"Of course" He studied Carwyn like an anierous"

"And I’m bored So… I think I’ll shoot you" Jack pulled a pistol froh the bars, and shot "Weren’t expecting that, were you? The old ones never do"
