“I’ve changed my mind,” Jack said.
…about what? Killing Theo? Are you thinking of allowing him to live so you can see what he’s good for against you later?
Theo stared, trying to fathom what the man was saying.
“Don’t let it be said that I can’t delay my gratification. Listen carefully now, I’m making you a deal.”
Sounds like it might be something like that.
Theo nodded, mute.
“I want to see this. This picture you paint. So I’m going to give you a chance to make this happen.”
Yeah. But what’s the cost? Just that he does this?
Theo nodded slowly, but his thoughts were on Kayden’s approach. How long until Kayden opened the door? Would Jack attack her? Attack Aster? Despite what he was saying now? Or would Kayden attack him and provoke something?
Jack is right about one thing. There are a lot of ways this could unfold.
“How old are you? Fourteen? Fifteen?”
“Fifteen, sir,” Theo said. Hurry up, finish before she comes.
Despite enjoying puns and occasional innuendos, I consider jokes about innocent meanings of “come” being interpreted sexually to be one of the lowest forms of humor. But “finish before she comes”?
This sentence is just asking for it.
