Yes! I believe that such a discussion can be settled quickly and easily. [The man beamed, withdrawing his wallet and opening it enough that both boys could see it was packed with notes.]

Name your price and we will have a deal. Simple no? Perhaps a hundred dollar bill will suffice? [He almost seemed like he was talking to himself as he rambled on.]

Yes, I think that will do nicely. Ah, but let's see here. [He withdrew a fifty, handing it to Leo who took it with a look of sour confusion.]

For you my dear! You have come in second place. I hope you're not too offended, but I'm afraid I am a fool for brunettes! You understand.

Now... [He put an arm around Aydin's back and began to encourage him away.]

I have plans for you, darling. Tell me, what do they call you?
