“But let’s go back to the part where you’renot dead,” he says to Fox. “I’m still pretty confused about that.”
Fox glances around the crowded lobby. “We should go someplace more private.”
Boxcar nods. “Sure. You want to grab a drink first? I’m admittedly a little sloshed already. I wasn’t sure whether or not I was being pranked because you’ve been dead for two years.”

I shrug. “Meh.”
Boxcar squints, sensing the tension as Fox glares at me. “Right, well, my laptop is upstairs. I believe you had something for me to crack into?”
Fox nods. “Yeah.”
“Then, let’s go on up. I can tell you all about your funeral that you missed.”
“I sent flowers,” Fox jokes.

Fox inhales but doesn’t argue as I turn around and make my way through the lobby toward the golden elevators in the corner.
