Oh boy this guy is just as bad as Gwen was when I first met her. The problem was Manning was half as pretty and twice as annoying as Gwen was. "Oh I can explain that," I say my charming grin right in place, "Trevor and I lost touch a few years back and I was working freelace for so long I didn't have a forwarding address."

I chuckle and shrug. "You can't keep track of everyone Broom knew of course, hence me not being in your system, yes."

Cutting Liz off was bad enough but his constant tapping of the clipboard on my chest is a power play and one I don't particularly like. This is clearly a mental pissing contest and one I don't want to play.

"You know the old sayimg, keep your friends close and your enemies closer, Broom was all about that."
