Rescue Me
“Do we absolutely have to do this?” Kinzie asks, clearly pouting at the Boss as they settle into the chair for the simulation.
“Look, I’m not happy about it either,” they say. “I still don’t particularly like Matt that much, but we do need him.”
“I’m perfectly capable of handling--” Kinzie starts to protest, but the Boss just cuts her off with a hand motion.
“I know you are,” they say, almost gently. “But I don’t know how bad this might get with Zinyak, Kinzie. He’s already blown up the fucking Earth for god’s sake. I’d feel better if we have someone as good as you are on backup. I don’t want you to get burned out, okay?”
Kinzie says nothing in response, she just crosses her arms over her chest and huffs, refusing to make eye contact. Finally she mumbles okay fine and turns around to start working on the computer. The Boss smiles at her back as the chair clicks into place around them.
“What do you think I’m gonna find in here?” they ask. “I’m thinking Nyteblayde and half dressed vampire girls.”
Kinzie doesn’t answer, she just finishes the program and plunges the Boss into the simulation, dropping them right in the middle of Matt Miller’s own personal hell.
