@indevise asked: " power hates a vacuum. " / from maurice, to jesper!
there's something on the coffee shop's tv — one gang's misfortunate leading to another gang's success. to anyone else listening, it's common news. misery loves company and all that. but to jesper... it's all down to his latest job. the newfound underdog gang having fallen victim to his efforts. breaking news, celebrity's daughter previously missing has been located. she was being held for ransom, and he's sure the father would've paid had jesper not intervened. his gaze studies the screen. he hopes that young woman gets the support she needs. power hates a vacuum. he glances to his right to find a woman lingering beside his table.
he draws in a deep breath and leans back into his seat, unconcerned but cautious. " and i hate power. " a forced smile graces his lips, he's got no reason to be standoffish towards this stranger — except for the fact that no one ever notices him. a ghost in a crowd, a blur in a photograph, a shadow in the dark. he's immediately intrigued, above all else. the intention hadn't been to enable a rival gang, and he's certainly not pleased to learn of the news, but he supposes it's nature. he can't control everything. " it's a good thing she's safe, now. "
