Chapter 9

Unparalleled Potential

“Dust! Fuck, I literally thought I’d never see you again.”

It was around eight in the evening when Åke finally arrived. He jumped into her arms the moment she opened the door for him. He was wearing a black, sleeveless shirt and his tanned skin was glowing with after warmth from a day of sun. He smelled like rosewood and tobacco.

“Glad to see you too,” Dust grinned while she patted the guy’s back. “Did you come straight from the gym?” She asked, referring to the bag around his shoulders. 

“Yeah, yeah,” he beamed, keeping his arms around her as he gently swayed their bodies from left to right. “Swam some laps. Ah, man, I was so scared that I would never get to see your gorgeous face ever again.” 

“Oh that'd be terrible,” Dust laughed, tightening her arms around his waist. The two stood in the doorway just like that, hugging and laughing as if they were long lost friends who saw each other again after years of bitter separation, despite only knowing each other for a couple of weeks at most.

Back when she first moved to this continent, Dust had to learn the hard way that most Europa folk weren’t too fond of physical intimacy between strangers, or even friends for that matter. In her native culture, the body was a natural part of the environment; only the soul was exempt from physical interaction. The first few years living outside of her community had been downright isolating. The lack of physical proximity to other human beings had left her feeling unearthed from her own flesh. Luckily for her, Farello had found her and decided to keep her constant company. She had needed that reconnection.

Over the years, she hadn't met many people like Åke, who offered physical touch as a genuine form of communication. Mina had completely stiffened up in their hug earlier, Prisma flinched when she did as much as sit next to her, and Ekster would plainly tell her to keep her hands to herself. Driver could probably give out a good hug if she was in need of one, but would never initiate contact. Perhaps Max liked hugs, but his high-effort hairstyle

signaled a no-touch zone. Åke, in stark contrast to everyone else, seemed to actually seek out physical interaction actively. In a funny way, he reminded her of Farello’s excitement towards touch. He pushed his head into her hand when she ran her fingers through his hair, leaned in closer when they were talking and gave out hugs with his entire heart and soul. 

She had been scared too, when his involvement with the club had been at stake. She was happy to feel those fears had been mutual. The mind speaks its truth through the body, was a saying of her ancestors. Åke kissed the top of her head. 

“Oh my God, you smell good. Sea, salt, sweat. My favourites.” 

Dust snorted into his shoulder and tightened up her hug one more time before letting go. 

“Two new people have joined. Remember that red-haired kid we met at Manzoni’s last week? He’s here. And a sporty-looking chick. Looks like you two have a bunch of hobbies in common.”

Åke’s dear-like, bright yellow eyes beamed down at her with boyish excitement. 

“Sweet! That makes seven of us, no? Typical of him to settle for such a biblical number,” he rolled his eyes, referring to Ekster, of course. “Where is he, anyway?” He peeked over her head up the stairs. 

“In his office,” Dust replied, before deciding to unburden her heart. “Honestly Åke, I was pretty anxious all throughout Monday and Tuesday. Ekster called me on Wednesday to tell me you two decided to make amends.” 

Åke scoffed. “Make amends, yeah. As long as it’s in his best interests, he’ll meet you in the middle. Everything is transactional for him. Better watch out with that guy, you never know what he’s thinking.”

Dust half-assed an agreeable hum. She was of the opinion that Ekster was rather predictable in nature.

“Prisma and I were just about to set the table,” she decided to change the subject and stepped aside to let him in. “You hungry?”

“I thought I smelled fresh bread!” Åke grabbed her hand and dragged her along inside. “I’m literally starving. Everyone's here already? Oh man, can't wait to catch up. Prisma? Prismaaaa!” He yelled up the stairs. 

Dust grinned. He really was like a dog.

“—Whoaa!” Åke exclaimed upon entering the room. “Who transformed this squat into a home? Dust, you’ve got magic hands.” 

Farello clearly remembered Åke from last week, barking and jumping up to his waist to get his attention. 

“Farello!!” Åke cheered, giving the poodle his undivided attention. “Yeah, I missed you too! Sooo much!” He extensively scratched Farello behind his ears, after which he enthusiastically greeted Driver and stole a slice of dried sausage from the cutting board. 

“Yo, thanks again for driving me around last Monday, when Ekster was too sour to give me a ride.” 

“No trouble, Åke. None at all. Glad to see you.”

“Same here man.”

Åke creeped up behind Prisma and jump-scared her with a tight hug. 

“Whatcha doin’, workin’ this late on a Friday~?” He sing-songed with his arms around her neck. 

Prisma put up a little fit to be let loose, after which she explained in all seriousness the updated features of the tracker rerouting tool. Åke alternated between staring at the screen in awe and showering her with thankful compliments, while Driver and Dust finished dressing the table. Driver offered Åke more sausages, which he declined with a laugh.

“Man, I’m going to seriously cry. You two outdid yourselves,” he said with a practiced crack in his voice, referring to the food on the table and the newly furnished living room. He then proceeded to closely inspect and admire every single piece of room decoration.

Dust beheld his antics with great amusement, reminded of Ekster's warning that Åke was, as he had so nicely put it, a professional ass-kisser. 

“This couch is am-a-zing! Ugh, so comfortable! From now on, I’ll just take my naps right here. And what's this little thing?” 

“A table lighter,” Dust explained. 

“Ohhh it's nice! Whoa, heavy,” he said, weighing the lighter in his hand. “Ekster's?” 

“Of course.” 

“Motherfucker’s got nice things,” Åke hummed. “Man, you transformed this place, it looks awesome.”

Farello barked happily and joined Åke on the couch. 

Dust couldn't help but grin ear to ear, his enthusiasm was genuinely flattering nonetheless. 

“I reckoned you’d need a proper couch to sleep on in case you had to crash again,” she laughed. 

“I could sleep right here and now,” he said, lying down with Farello on his chest.

In the same moment that Åke happily closed his eyes, the door to Ekster's office flew open. Max and Mina walked out, loudly chatting about some video game. They matched each other's energy perfectly. Ekster followed, with a face that screamed ‘I need a cigarette or else—.’ Indeed, he turned an immediate right to the roof terrace, without caring to notice that Åke had already arrived. The other obviously didn't appreciate being ignored and opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off by Max.

“Yoo, bro! Sick seeing you again.” 

As expected, Åke’s reflexes were quick and he flawlessly diverted his attention from the door that Ekster had just slammed shut, to reciprocate Max’s dap mid-air without missing a single beat.

“No way. You made it,” Åke said with a suitably jovial grin. “Survived Ekster's intake?” 

“Zero stress.” Max dropped back into the couch as well, kicking his feet up as if he was at his own home. “Have you met Mina?” 

Åke turned to the blonde girl who was grinning brightly. 

Hallo! Nice to meet you! This is gonna sound crazy, but you're Aake, right? My friends go mad every time we walk past your ad for Gym Base in Central Mall.” 

Åke laughed. “Thanks! My name's pronounced oh-ke, by the way, as in o-kay.” 

“Oh!” Mina’s ears grew red. 

“Yeah, like that,” Åke joked. “Don't sweat it. Your name’s Mina?” 

“Mina Leonhart,” the girl introduced herself with her full name, probably from the nerves. 

“Coolest surname I’ve ever heard,” Åke smoothly said. “You play soccer?” 

The three immediately started a conversation about sports, which Dust kind of checked out from. She sat next to Prisma at the table and put her head in her hands. 

“Ahh… everyone's here. Reckon that everything will come together at last?”

Prisma raised her head and looked at the three chatting away on the couch. Through the landscape windows behind them, dusk had fallen, and the sky coloured the same shades as Prisma’s hair. 

“We’ll see…” was the only thing she said. 

Dust grinned and nudged the other girl with her shoulder. “You’re allowed a little bit of optimism, after all that hard work we’ve already put in.” 

She looked at Prisma's computer screen, where an icon of Åke’s face pretended to be doing groceries at the supermarket.

“Have patience, have everything,” Driver said in a proverbial tone of voice, suddenly sitting next to them at the table with a beer in his hand.

Prisma jumped and Dust nodded at the drink. “I could have one.” 

“Young lady, I see two healthy legs. The fridge’s stocked.”

“My legs are occupied!” Åke yelled from the couch, pointing at Farello who was taking a nap on his lap.

“Weren’t you dying from hunger just now?” Dust reminded him. “Eat before you drink.” 

“Shouldn’t we wait for—” The door flung open mid-sentence and Ekster marched in, laptop and briefcase in hand. “Speak of the Devil,” Åke added under his breath. 

“Ah, salut, you’re here,” Ekster finally took notice of him. “Ça va? 

“Fine, great, thanks,” Åke mumbled.

Dust had no idea whether the two had seen each other since last Sunday, but Ekster acted quite airily, while Åke looked like he still had a thing or two on his mind. 

Ekster dropped his stuff at the head of the table and reached for the bottle of red wine as he sat down next to Dust. He filled his water glass to the brim. 

“I’m really sorry,” he said, excusing himself for his lack of etiquettes. “But the past week took twelve decades off my life.” 

“Didn't know you intended to live for that long,” Dust joked. 

“Not anymore.” He bottomed-up the glass, which would’ve been quite impressive, if Dust hadn’t already seen him do that a handful of times before. “They are stealing my youth.” referring to the three on the couch, who were now laughing at Max’s seated reenactment of Mina scoring a goal. 

It was obvious Ekster lived on a completely different wavelength from them.

“You pulled it off, though. Everyone who you had your eye on is here.” 

Ekster nodded his head in semi-agreement. “That's an optimistic way to look at it.” He ripped off a piece of baguette and put a generous amount of blue cheese on. He gestured for the others at the table to eat something as well.

“In reality, we're only getting started. The client for the marble Mary suddenly decided he wants an in-person trade off on Paros, which is quite the pain.” He looked at Driver. “Unless you don’t mind going on a little road trip to Greece with me.” Driver gave him a thumbs-up. “Sorted. Moreover, I’m working ahead and keeping an eye on the situation at The North-South State Museum, which is developing quicker than I had anticipated. I don't have a mole and it’s getting harder to keep track of their inventory. On top of that, I didn’t expect to need six different payout strategies, so I’m pretty behind on paperwork.” He glanced at the three new friends again. “Especially since Mina and Max are of age to the law, but haven't turned eighteen yet, there is a bunch of prep that needs to happen. And don’t get me started on mister Åkerman, he’s a downright legal nightmare.”

“Oh yes, because legality is what you're worried about here,” Dust teased. 

That actually made him laugh. “I draw the line at bad paperwork,” he said, pretending to be stern about it.

“What did your lawyer say about Åke?” Dust asked off-handedly while she walked to the fridge. From the corner she could see Åke’s ears perking up.

Ekster sighed and poured himself more wine. The bottle was already half-empty at this point. He then chuckled to himself and shook his head. “I shouldn’t laugh. But sometimes I forget that my lawyer is the biggest crook of all.” 

Dust opened two bottles of beer and brought one over to Åke. “Must’ve been an interesting meeting.” 

Åke cheered their glasses together and raised his eyebrows with a knowing look. Mina and Max were quiet for the first time since entering the room. “He was absolutely thrilled to work my case.”

Ekster elaborated; "Viscuso, my lawyer, called me afterwards. First thing he said: congratulations Curator, your most valuable asset as of yet. He had the whole white washing strategy laid out. The man’s an absolute shark.” 

“Huh?” Dust said, looking between Ekster and Åke. “I don’t get it. I thought this was about a way for Åke to get paid?” 

Ekster huffed. “It is. I won’t bore you with the details, but to put it simply, Åke’s a tax haven, legally speaking. A holding for investment and trust funds. An island in the Bahamas, so to say. At least it’s finally clear to me why the ultra-rich like to keep human assets. They make, hold and wash money all at the same time. Win-win, triple win type of deal. For the account holder, at least. Now, I can make use of some legal loopholes and the power of Åke’s written consent,” he raised his glass to the other, “to not only get Åke, but all of us paid, while protecting our identity. Checking accounts is a different story entirely, but this alone will save my guy at the bank a whole bunch of time and work.” 

“Glad to be of service,” Åke moped. “It just pisses me off that I don’t know these things about myself.” 

“Yeah…” Dust slowly said. She wasn’t sure if she really grasped the entirety of the situation, but at least it sounded like Ekster and Åke were working together on the same side again. “So the Frog won’t find out about this?” 

“Not if I keep my mouth shut,” Åke said with a funny expression. “Right?” 

“Right.” Ekster confirmed. “On that note.” 

He opened up the black briefcase. He took out seven Nokia phones in seven different colours and waited for everyone to take a seat at the table.

“We'll continue communication through this device only. Everyone’s number is already added.” 

Dust received the green phone, Driver the white one, Prisma’s was pink, Mina got yellow, Max red, Åke was handed purple and Ekster kept the black one for himself.

He then proceeded to give everyone a set of keys. “For the front doors,” he explained. 

“You’re giving everyone a copy?” Mina asked suspiciously. “Isn’t this where you live as well?”

“You’re planning to murder me in my sleep?” Ekster deadpanned. “That’s what I thought,” was the answer to her silence. “This time around, I’m not working with professional criminals for a reason. I really do trust everyone here. To a certain degree. Except for you,” he jokingly added to Driver.

Driver threw Ekster a heart-shape with his hands. The unexpectedly cute gesture made Prisma giggle. 

“First things first,” Ekster continued with a little smirk. He’d been looking forward to this day, Dust knew, hence the uncharacteristically good mood. “Thank you for coming tonight. Everyone knows what they're here for, so I appreciate the show-up. It’s my first time building a team, so bear with me. I’d like to reemphasize that whatever is said between the seven of us, stays between the seven of us. No exceptions. Anonymity is everything in this field of work, and separation between professional and private life is crucial. I strongly advise everyone to consider that division sacred. I was given the nickname Curator over a decade ago, and have been hiding behind that pseudonym ever since. I am sure, the longer we work together, the more gossip you’ll hear about me. Take all you hear with a grain of salt. What I do is in reality nothing more than some smart bookkeeping. I need the money and hate elitists. That’s it. My real name is Ekster Vandroogenbroeck. I never, ever use that name professionally.” 

Ekster briefly side-eyed Dust, who offered him a proud smile. He’d been on the fence about how he’d introduce himself to the team, but Dust was glad to hear he’d decided to take her advice and allow a certain level of mutual confidence.

Åke straightened his back at the unceremonial mention of Ekster's family name. “What—? Van—? What? How do you spell that?” 

“The same way you pronounce it,” Ekster joked. “And I swear on my father's grave, if you try to dig for information behind my back one more time, I’m sending Frog your balls in a jewelry box.” That last part didn't sound like a joke.

Åke threw his hands up. “Not betting my life away twice.”

“A couple of other house rules,” Ekster placidly continued. “We all speak a couple of languages, but let's stick to English between us. It's the only one we all understand. I don't enjoy excluding people through language.”

Everyone hummed in agreement.

“Now.” Ekster threw his briefcase shut and rose up from his seat, glancing over everyone at the table. “This is how this is going to work. For every job, I will hire each of you on a contract basis. You’re allowed up to five revision days between receiving and signing the contract. Before signing, you’re allowed to opt out at any point. After signing, you finish the job. The NDA everyone signed is enforced at any time, at all times, always, for the rest of your life. Capice? The only way to get out of a signed contact is jail or death. And I will make sure to keep you out of jail.” 

Dust looked around the table. Everyone seemed to have already grown used to Ekster’s strong choice of words and she swore she saw Mina hold back a grin.

“Everyone’s active involvement will differ from gig to gig,” Ekster continued, unfazed. “Equity will be split based on time, risk and skill. Technically you’re not allowed to debate your equity stake upfront, but, if needed, they will be recalculated in your favour after the fact, based on the actually achieved results. So don’t fuck up, and your labour will bear its fruits. After every job, we’ll enter a cool-down period in which we don’t see or speak to each other. I will need an undetermined amount of time to process payments, after which you will wait for my call and wash the cash according to my instructions. Exact payment details are determined by the volume of profit and will naturally differ from job to job. With every contract I will try to provide an estimated payout plan to the best of my abilities, as a way to manage expectations. Any questions thus far?” 

Everyone was dead-silent. 

“Fantastic.” Ekster adjusted his glasses and crossed his arms. “Now let's get on to the fun stuff. Stealing is like riding a bike. You really just have to get a hang of it, before it becomes second nature. First few times you’ll eat concrete and look like a fool. But when I say that I see long-term potential in this team, I’m being absolutely serious. And this first job shouldn't be too difficult. Prisma? Can you—?” He opened his laptop and Prisma scooted over. 

“Just go here, and click on the beamer icon to connect,” she mumbled. “It's a bit embarrassing that you don't know these things,” she added in a low tone. “It's very basic stuff.” 

“Told you, I’m a paper pusher, not a technician,” Ekster grinned. 

“Technician where,” Prisma sulked. “It’s just a Bluetooth connection.”

Dust patted Prisma on her back. She knew how much the girl hated solving dumb problems. But she also knew that Ekster was surprisingly stupid when it came down to technology, the only applications on his laptop he understood were email and excel. 

While the beamer above their head whirred into action, Prisma sat behind Ekster's laptop and located some files. A deep frown took place on her cute face while she mummered, “what a mess, what a mess,” most probably referring to Ekster's file structure. If his computer was organised in any way similar to how he had organised his own house, it must be quite the hellscape.

Across the table, Max and Åke had started a conversation about hair dye, while Mina confiscated a bowl of grapes. Looking at the teenage girl eagerly chomping down on the fruits, Dust couldn’t help but wonder what her goals were for joining this group. Ekster had reassured her that everyone had their reasons, and it wasn't her job to overthink them all. Considering how Ekster's motivations differed wildly from her own, she agreed it was probably impossible to guess what anyone's deal was anyway. “As long as they're intrinsically motivated, I’m convinced,” Ekster had said. Fair enough. 

“Okay,”  Ekster announced when Prisma gave him a thumbs up. “The current heist at hand—” 

He was promptly interrupted by Åke clearing his throat and raising his hand. 

“We’re not in class.” 

“I heard some stuff this past week.”

Ekster crossed his arms. “Well?” 

“Gossip has spread like a wildfire that every single one of the objects presented by Baron Marcus de Lyon have been rejected by the Salon Commission. I know it’s the truth, because Frog is in that commission. It’s an absolute disgrace for the estate of De Lyon, and Marcus is grilling his subordinates to have it fixed by yesterday. For those who don’t know,” Åke looked around the table, “the first day of the ten-day Salon starts upcoming Friday. So, he’s cracking the whip and making his asset managers run around like headless chickens. The situation is the talk of the town and the Baron refuses to show his face at any of the pre-parties. Especially,” He added with a pointed expression, “because word in the wind is that over twenty pieces of jewelry have been stolen from one of the Baron's properties, namely, a little white church in the south of France.” He paused for dramatic effect and stared up at Ekster. “Now I wonder who could’ve done that,” he added sarcastically.

Ekster looked at Dust, and Dust hid her grin behind the palm of her hand. 

“Oops,” she giggled.

“I told her to take ‘em with,” Ekster covered for her. “We spent the night at the church and I couldn’t help but notice a couple of shiny things. You said twenty? Hmmm. Funny. I definitely have more than that.” 

Åke shook his head in confusion. “You two spend the night at the church? Okay. Romantic.” 

“I exorcised the Mary,” Dust explained. 

“Just to be safe,” Ekster elaborated.

“I’m sure it was very necessary,” Åke mocked. “In any case, they suspect the movers. The property manager himself is under fire as well. He was already considered useless, but now his head is on the chopping block for real, for real. To save the Salon, and his career, he’s going to have to comb through all his portfolio assets again, and propose a new collection, on top of having to justify the loss of the jewelry. A whole army of inventory checkers has been deployed, like the one we ran into at the church, to get the job done in time. People are also whispering that the police haven't been notified, because all jewelry was fake.” 

Ekster tapped his chin. “They were replicas. Made from genuine metals nevertheless. Let’s just go through the plan. I think we can make this work in our favour.” 

Åke shrugged and sat back in his seat. “Let’s hear it.” 

From his laptop, Ekster popped up a couple of images on the beamer. The marble Mary appeared.

“She’s our target. Dated thirty BC, made from Paros marble, in near perfect condition. The only damage is salt water from what I suspect is a relatively recent flood, after which the statue was moved uphill to her current location. She has a bunch of forged paperwork with some bull-shit story attached to her, which makes her relatively valuable to an amateur collector. I suspect she’d been passed around from collector to collector to inflate her value, even going as far as staging a heist on her. It’s absurd. She’s perfectly valuable as she is, but for some reason people have felt the need to rewrite her story to better fit their own aesthetic preferences. We’re calling her the marble Mary, but she’s most definitely not portraying the Holy Mary. Paros has an interesting history, it might be where the purposeful misinterpretation about her religious origin comes from. My buyer believes she needs to return to her original soil in Paros, in order to lift some curse of sorts, which is why he wants me to clear her name, so to say. He’ll buy her refreshed paperwork for one point five million euros.” 

Max whistled softly. Mina shuffled in her seat and even Åke sat up a little straighter. Ekster pulled up a couple images of the small white church.

“The marble Mary currently resides in this sorry piece of property. No security, no proper upkeep, we know the drill. Piece of cake. However…” He rolled his last r and turned to face the group. “This brings us to our current situation. Åke, who do you think discovered that jewelry was missing from the church?” 

Åke shrugged. “I assume it was the property manager himself. He must’ve panicked and confided in someone. Gossip literally spreads within a matter of minutes.”

Dust was thinking along. “And they couldn’t notify the police, because the jewelry is essentially worth nothing. Wouldn’t be worth the reputation damage?” 

“Having your shit stolen is already embarrassing,” Åke agreed. “But having fake shit in your portfolio is absolutely humiliating. Police involvement means publicity. There is no way in hell the Baron would let that slide. We rarely ever involve the police. The less eyes, the better.”

“That’s a good idea.” Ekster sat back in his chair. “How utterly embarrassing would it be, if the jewelry magically returned?” 

Everyone stared at him. 

“Huh?” Max intelligently said. 

“Return the jewelry, steal Mary, tip the police, confuse the living light out of everyone?” Dust thought out loud. Exactly the type of weird plan Ekster would like.

“That’s good.” Driver said. “It’ll divert attention.” 

“That’s really good,” Åke added with a laugh. “I can’t really imagine a more pathetic public downfall as having the police show up at your doorstep for counterfeit jewelry that the thief already returned. That’s hilarious” 

“Okay,” Ekster folded his fingers together. “This is what we’ll do. Dust and I curate the jewelry we’ll return. Not all of it, since they’re obviously oblivious to what was exactly stolen. We’ll return the most useless shit. I’ll even clean it and make sure it catches all the attention. Driver preps the van for the marble Mary. We need to be able to transport her easily and securely. I want Åke, Max, Driver and Dust to buy arms.” Max lit up and Åke opened his mouth to say something, but Ekster raised his hand to shut him up. “It’ll be an investment for the future. Max, ever fired a sniper in real life?” 

Max perked up. “Yeah man, I go airsofting with my buddies every other month or so. Went last weekend y’know. The shooter I play online is a simulator man, it’s basically the real thing. In theory. But the dude who runs the airsoft-thing is super chill, I’m sure he’d let me use the field for shooting practice, he’s cool like that for sure.” 

“So what if I give you a rough overview of the four projects I’ve got in the pipeline, and you figure out some type of base load-out? Could I trust you with that?” 

“Boss, consider it taken care of,” Max replied in pure confidence.

“Great. At the night of the heist, Driver takes all of us in the Mercedes Sprinter up the mountain. Dust and Max are dropped off on a vantage point to keep an eye on the roads. The others drive down to the church. We enter through the front door. Driver and Åke focus on the statue, Prisma stays in the van because I believe she needs to take care of the tracker?” He glanced over to Prisma, who had a particularly deep frown between her brows. 

“Uh— yeah,” she stated. “Like I told you, it's not foolproof. The code that triggers a gps scramble is not yet stable on the receiving end and can display the output data at random, causing jitters and jumps in the tracking data. When the gps data needs to be rerouted for long periods at a time, it needs manual supervision at all times.”

“Ohhkay,” Ekster dragged. “You got it, though?” 

Prisma nodded a single time. “I got it.” 

Ekster pulled up another image on the beamer behind him. “This is the floorplan of the church. Mina, you specifically will need to study this layout and know where to go as soon as we get there. Within the same timeframe it takes Åke and Driver to wheel out Mary, you and I will return all jewelry and grab a couple of other valuables on the way out. We’ll need to be fast and effective.” 

“Grab a couple of other… valuables?” Mina questioned. “So there is actually real stuff in there as well?” 

“I believe to have seen so. But I’ll have to make a call on the spot.” Ekster tapped through a couple of dozen images of various small objects; pictures he had taken in the church during their overnight trip.

“I thought it’d be a good idea to run a couple of small test thefts to see if anyone would bat an eyelash. Turns out that was the right thing to do. We're in a much better position right now. It’ll be best to strike while the iron is still hot. As we’ve just discussed, a bit of prep needs to happen before we can make this a flawless roll. Meaning we're going to have to lock in for a bit. So. What’s everyone doing in the next two days?”
