Let's get down to business

If Daniel had thought the last year had been a whirlwind, it was nothing like all that changed the moment they stood before Dylan in the park. A lifetime of hardwork, a year of risking prison and failure, and now he had come to the pinnacle of all he had ever wanted.

And it wasn't even close to over yet. Packing wasn't hard, and leaving behind his life had already been done. They had no idea where they were going, or what was coming next.

He did know that McKinney didn't stop making whatever sound that was at the ungodly hour of not even four in the morning, and he was about ready to scream if the coffee maker didn't go faster.

Jack snorted softly.

"Careful, man. Your head gets any bigger they'll have to widen the doorways around here."

He was still teasing; it wasn't like it was a secret that Daniel had an ego about his craft.

"And yet it would just be more of my beauty," he noted. "I'm not seeing the downside."

His ego was a thing of beauty and he couldn't help but feed it.

And Jack just cracked up, now, not able to stop himself laughing. "That was a new one."

There was a time when the laughter would have bothered Daniel but then things changed. The relationship of the Horseman changed a lot.

"I can't help the truth of it."

"Especially if it involves your ego."

It had, and Jack was glad for it. He'd spent a while wanting a family. It was good to actually have one, now.
