Aiden scheduled a meeting with Andres to discuss a possible job. Anita tagged along to have an evening out in the city.
Anita: Whispering excitedly to Aiden “Can I tell him?”
Aiden: “Sure.”
Andres still behind the couple.
Anita: “Guess what?”
Andres: “I hate guess games, but alright. You discovered a new type of plant?”
Anita: “Yes, but more importantly… I’m pregnant!”
Andres grinned and clapped Aiden on the back.
Andres: “Congratulations, you two!”
Andres hugged Anita.
Andres: “Sam will be thrilled. I’ll tell her to give you a call soon.”
Anita: “Thanks.”
Aiden: “We’ll be right back, Babe.”
Anita: “Sure.”
Andres: “So that’s why you were so desperate for work.”
Aiden: “Don’t pretend you don’t get it… I wasn’t planning for this. The reserves are running low and it’s not like her garden makes much cash. And can you even garden when pregnant?”
Andres: “You’re desperate, Aiden. I don’t work with desperate men. They’re sloppy. Too focused on the pay off.”
Aiden: “I’m not desperate. I can do some straight work to pay the bills if I need to. I’m just nervous. I’m having a kid.”
Andres: “Let’s grab a beer. You need it.”
Aiden: “Nah, I’m good. I’ve got an idea and I want to say it before the nerves get me.”
Aiden: “I was thinking we could pull the Carter job.”
Andres looked over his sunglasses at Aiden. Andres’ steel colored eyes searched Aiden’s face for a hint that this was just a jest.
Andres: “The Carter job? I told you that it was impossible.”
Aiden: “You said it was possible, but just barely.”
Andres: “It is possible, but the whole job would be difficult to execute.”
Aiden: “You’ve still been working it in your head.”
Andres: “Of course I have. That’s my job.”
Anita shuffled out of the lounge as the men talked. She didn’t want to interrupt, but she had to tinkle!
Anita: “Hehe… ignore me gentlemen… just sneaking by…”
Anita: “Yup, keep on keeping on… just gonna–” escapes into potty.
They guys kept talking and politely ignored Anita.
