How can I help you get it back?

[dog_lover]

[ She doesn't know. ]

Your willingness to help is more helpful than you know. Right now, I need to think about it carefully. But I want you to have a place there too.

[friendsfordinner]

We made that deal. And besides, our interests align in the same direction. I'll help you out with whatever you need.

[dog_lover]

We did. But I can appreciate that you want to.

I'm sure I don't have to tell you how often people will act out of spite, ruin their own chances just because it fulfills their word.

[friendsfordinner]

I'm not most people. I'm not stupid. I've got something good in my hands and I'd be a damn idiot to throw it away.

[dog_lover]

I appreciate that you know that.

[ It sounds as plain and blank as most of what she says. But some of the smile is actually in her eyes. ]

I'm smarter than I look, [ he teases.

There's a pause before Hickey continues, ] We'll find a way to get you that power back.
