It could have been kind of funny if during the backroom and subsequent encounter between Brian and Justin in Babylon, if Justin would have said:
"You want me, Mr. Kinney? Lower your pants and turn to the wall."
He could have at least seen if Brian wanted him that bad... Justin may not have gone through with it, but he'd have known if Brian was serious, or if he was still playing a game.
Which brings me to Gardner. I'm not so sure he wouldn't prostitute an employee out just to get a lucrative account. And his: And if you do... I don't want to know about it, is almost like giving his permission. Oh well, I'm sure he didn't get the account in the long run, and had regrets for pushing Justin into it. Knowing that, I'm not so sure Gardner would even allow Justin to finish out his two weeks... many employers will let an employee go after they give their notice, and I can almost see Gardner doing that.
It would have been very entertaining if Brian and Justin had gotten married in Pittsburgh and took a little stroll in their wedding finery and walked by Ethan busking on a street corner. (Yeah, I'm kind of cruel that way.) LOL... Oh heck, maybe Brian can send him a certified letter with the newspaper clipping detailing their elaborate shindig... LOL... (Can you tell I don't really like the chin rat?)
Well, looking forward to the epilogue and next story... not much else new to read these days...

Haha, yes. That would have been a fun plot idea. I'm not sure Brian in this 'verse would go that far, but maybe if he became desperate - LOL.
Yes, I wouldn't be surprised with Vance. He's definitely a cold one. I think he would expect Justin to go over and beyond even in an unprofessional way to secure the client. I highly doubt Vance got anything from Brian. It was clear that Brian didn't like him, and he was really just using the opportunity to have a good connection with Justin. Which it definitely worked out. I think if Vance did have Justin work the two weeks it would be more as a punishment knowing that he really just wanted to be finished and starting his new and wonderful life with Brian.
The epilogue should be coming very soon, hopefully I can get it posted today. Another story will be coming within the next day or two. I'm not going in any particular order really, so I guess we'll see what's next. Lol.
Thanks for commenting, Cathy.
