Morgan

When’s the “celebration”?

Wes

Tonight.

Morgan

Shit.

Alejo

We could ask them to reschedule in a couple of days, then leave before the party. Say Cole’s too tired for tonight or something.

Javi

I underestimated you, Ale.

Lawrence

It’s always the quiet ones.

Wes

Leave the kid alone.

Morgan

Let’s go with Alejo’s plan. If any of those sentimental bastards complain, we’ll just say Cole wanted to leave early to pay our respectsto Seb privately.

Lawrence

Blame it on Cole. Got it.

Javi

Should we ask Cole first?

Morgan

Under different circumstances, yeah, but it’s just going to stress him out.

While we’re on the topic, steer away anyone who comes to the Briar before they talk to Cole. Let’s load Briar quickly and get out of here. Sound good?

Alejo

Roger, captain.

Lawrence

Rrrrroger.

Wes

Javi

I’m not saying Roger via text.
