“I haven’t accepted any agreement yet. I understand trust is required if things work out, but don’t lecture me about my work. I know what it entails and said nothing about the work being innocent. Only that I didn’t steal anything as promised during our last meeting. Sometimes it’s better not knowing what items I’ve held onto. Animals get eaten all the time out in the wild, why should we be any different?” He asked shrugging his shoulders. Shit happened, that was just the way the world worked and some people were born with a little more luck than others. But the comment about the amount of money he made, did make Evan question if Alan had managed to peek in at one of his earning checks... He always took money over transactions because it made them harder to follow. But anything was trackable if you knew how to pull a few strings.<br/><br/>As for the house, getting something cheaper was out of the question and made him shake his head. “No way. The house is small enough for one person and I like the space. I’m not getting anything smaller than what I’ve got. Clients know my address and moving will make it easier for people like the cops to find me if things go tits up like today” The fact was, he liked his home. He’d worked hard to get it and even though the rent was a struggle, it was rewarding to manage paying everything off month to month. But now he had a new problem and he knew it wasn’t going to go away anytime soon. Alan seemed dead set on wiggling his way into his life. But he was still trying to figure the Lawyer out. What was it he wanted? Maybe turning in the last of the rent and moving back to the rooftop wasn’t such a bad idea... at least he’d have freedom to move around the city as he pleased. But he knew deep down that Alan would still be able to track him... His mind kept trailing back to the night in the office, why?<br/><br/>-You’re thinking about them right now- No... Evan focused his eyes back on Alan’s a little baffled. How the hell did he know? “I can only think about what happened previously. I don’t know how your games work. I’ve done a lot of cat and mouse, but...” The time within the office had been completely different.<br/><br/>-Did you like it?- How the hell was he meant to answer that? He averted his eyes again and thought to himself for a moment. “I don’t know... But I did think about it from time to time. The thoughts came and go. But whether I liked it is yet to be decided. But you can’t do something like that here. The cops are all waiting outside” he said looking back over at Alan. “Is that all that’s in your terms? Just a spanking when I do something you disapprove of?” He asked curiously. He knew the guy would probably try and put him on a better path, but Evan like the life he was living just now. Once you were in it, it was hard to get back out of it again. No normal job would be the same and he didn’t have the grades for anything else.
