How do you think I know?

Me

What did you do, Wyatt?

Wyatt

Nothing, I swear.

Me

Why don’t I believe you?

Wyatt

Because you’re a paranoid asshole?

Because you always think the worst of me?

Me

Gee, I wonder why.

Wyatt


Fuck you.

Look, everything is completely above board.

Harkness mentioned your meeting in Kennebunkport.

Coincidentally, Michael Chen reached out asking if I had any recommendations for someone in the area who could jump in.

I gave him your name.

Me

Why?

Wyatt

Because you’re good at your job and they could use you?

Me

And you’re a selfish prick who never does anything out of the kindness of your heart.

So I ask again, why me?

Wyatt

Consider it an olive branch.

An apology for ditching you in Vegas.

Also, yes, I’m a selfish prick, and I thought if I hooked you up, you’d quit throwing this temper tantrum.
