"And isn't that the largest building in all of Florida?" Stryker added followed by yet another chuckle.
"Well…..yeah, but at least this past winter we didn't have ten feet of snow dumped on our heads." Aurora said counting his comment.

"So tell me, what do you think will be the next assignment in the game?" Aurora asked reaching out with her fork to grasp the last piece of chicken off her plate. It had been days since she had eaten and she didn't realize how hungry she was until the pair sat down at a little eatery.
"I don't know but this Fat Daddy better tell us soon."
"Stryker, what do you make of all this?"
"Why, what do you mean?" he said before gulping down the last of his beer.
"I don't know, something's bothering me about it all. Ever since the flight from Vegas, I've had difficulty with it all."
"What?"
"I don't know, maybe I'm playing into my own damn anxiety but something's not right here," she said looking deep within his blue eyes. "We're following directors from some guy we don't even know, none of us know anything about him. He's called Fat Daddy and we've all killed for him," she added not breaking her gaze on her partner "What does that say about all of us?"
"Look I have worried over it too. But we took on this game…..if that's what it is, than we have to live with it."
"As we kill others doing so."
"What's the matter Agent Constantine, you getting soft on me now?" he said with a smirk.
"Ah…..no…..I'm not getting soft…..Fuck You! I'm only questioning it all, that's all. And I'm not a CIA agent any more. I don't mind taking a life as long as it's the right life I take," she said sitting up in her seat in a defensive posture.
"Ok, sorry, glad to know that you're not going soft on me," he said still smirking like a little boy bothering his little sister.
"Shit….. me go soft…..please…..I'll kick your ass right here right now…..come on, wanna see?" she said with a silly laugh and holding up her two fists as they both smiled at one another. "I just want to know we are doing this for all the right reasons that all." she added bringing her tone down to a more serious pitch.
"We are doing this for the money, to help ourselves and our sisters? You said on the plane, how you need to help Athena with her house. You know sooner or later she will lose it. And my sister may never walk again if I don't do something. The money they want to fix her spine is ten times more than that car of mine," he said lowering his tone as well.
