I agree; a mysterious initiative definitely sounds ominous. I hope nothing happens to the waitress during the impending chaos, given that Bad Guys are almost certainly going to converge on the diner!

I like to imagine Scoot sitting at his desk in a smokey room, cigar in hand, whiskey within reach, typing all of this on an old typewriter. Classic. And loving this so far!

Oops, DB. My funds...are, uh... frozen. Heh, heh. Looks like I can't pay you today.

Associate? Ha. Associate my rear-end chassis, James.

Next time I'll order you a coffee to make up for it, Dubby.

..."Hello, Gerard? It's me, DB431. Double agent much? Why yes..."

Run, run, run. The evil uncle has had the police freeze funds.

Get to the safe house, fast as you can.

Great job on the suspense, @scoot.
