andiperez:

If you’re in law enforcement, you should be better at interrogating me.

But I wasn’t interrogating you. 

[grant-wallace-blog]

liat-shoval:

Absolutely always.

You’re a pain in my ass, Shoval.

TEXT ✉ STEPH

STEPH: Just cowboys. And drunk. Or both, a lot of the time. Or married.

GRANT: Well, shit, you're in the wrong place.

[grant-wallace-blog]

liat-shoval:

I’ve always been a better actor than you.

Do you have to make everything a competition?

[grant-wallace-blog]

andiperez:

Yeah, why do you like asking so many questions?

Trying to make conversation, you’re not giving me much to work with. And I’m also in the law enforcement.

TEXT ✉ STEPH

STEPH: Ha. It's pretty quiet on that front.

GRANT: What, are guys in Nashville blind /and/ dumb?

[grant-wallace-blog]

andiperez:

Yeah.

Got any questions for me, ‘cause I could do this all day and it’s annoying for both of us.

[grant-wallace-blog]

liat-shoval:

It might be a little difficult.

I trust you’ll play your part well. After all, our covers depend on it.

andiperez:

Emigrating to the States isn’t really easy.

Especially now, yeah.

[grant-wallace-blog]

liat-shoval:

Are we celebrating our honeymoon, then?

Of course. Think you can get in character for that?

[grant-wallace-blog]

andiperez:

Not really.

How come your family never followed you? I don’t mean to grill you with questions, I’m just curious, and it’s an occupational hazard.

TEXT ✉ STEPH

STEPH: Enjoying your bachelor life too much?

GRANT: I suppose I don't hate it.

GRANT: What about you, anyone whose legs I should threaten to break in case they hurt you?

[grant-wallace-blog]

liat-shoval:

Fair point. Mrs. Smith, really?

I didn’t come up with the aliases. Oddly fitting, though.

[grant-wallace-blog]

andiperez:

Yeah, except the ones I really care about are still in Mexico.

You ever think about going back?

[grant-wallace-blog]

liat-shoval:

You’re going to learn Hebrew? Alright, and what’s our reason for being there?

Why not? I’ll understand you better when you cuss me out. Well, I thought you’d never ask, Mrs. Smith.

[grant-wallace-blog]

andiperez:

I have a cousin who lives here.

That would explain the long distance. I assume it’s a lot easier having family around.

[grant-wallace-blog]

andiperez:

Mexico.

That’s cool. Why Chicago of all places?
