Conor:Someone was bound to pick up on it eventually.
Aidan:She had a point—we don’t know who is in whose pocket. She suggested we confer to make sure we don’t lose a source.
Conor:I think we should put that plan on the back burner.
Aidan:What? Why?
Conor:Because I’m playing a bigger game over here, Aidan.
Aidan:What kind of game?
Conor:The Sparrows are fucked. Can’t go into details but I know we’re going to take them down. I want justice for Star and all those other victims first, then those who don’t get what they deserve, we deal with them.
Aidan:What’s going on, Conor? You were a key part of this plan.
Conor:I know, but by the time Star and I are done, there’s a more efficient way to go about this and we don’t have to get our hands unnecessarily dirty. The more dirt we accrue, the harder it is to look clean for Shay later on.
Conor:I need you to trust me, deartháir.
Aidan:I do trust you.
Conor:Enough to not ask questions?
Aidan:Fuck.
Aidan:You want to change our whole goddamn game plan. I’m the leader of the ECD now. I was supposed to take over the Sparrows next!
Conor:I know, but wouldn’t it be better if they didn’t exist at all? If that tower was toppled and you just needed to lead the Five Points and the ECD?
Conor:Brennan said shit’s crazy over there as it is without adding that to your workload.
Aidan:It is. I’m barely spending any time with Savannah and it’s driving me up the wall.
Conor:It makes me happy you have her, Aidan.
Aidan:Me too.
Aidan:How’s shit with Star?
Conor:It’s going well. She’s not locking me out. I figured she might.
Aidan:Don’t think many people could lock you out when you want in.
Conor:She’s different. I won’t force her to do anything she doesn’t want to do. She’s had enough of that in her life.
Aidan:You know I didn’t mean it that way.
Conor:I’m taking this slow.
Aidan:How slow is slow? You’ve already been seeing her for, what? Almost two fucking years?
Conor:Time is irrelevant.
Aidan:If you say so, bro. Your balls are the ones on the line. Not mine.
Conor:My baby makers are fine.
Aidan:Lol.
