    You sit in the cold chair next to Boro, your grateful you were wearing a jacket when they snatched you. Your quiet as you eat and let the two men talk, you lean closer to Boro as his food sits untouched since his attention is on Finn. "Steak from Mastro's, milkshake from Bob's Big Boy. Now, talk." Finn says, he came in by himself this time and not with Danielle, the last encounter with the firey woman tense. "Uh, the buyers and I communicate via an encrypted dark web message board. They're pinged once I upload an authentication video of myself with the bomb to prove it's operational." Boro explains. Then Finn chimes in. "How do you prove it's operational?" Boro shrugs a little then takes a sip of the milkshake with his free hand, his left being chained to the table, same as yours. "State-sponsored satellite, one of America's many enemies, one of my may allies. It can trace the bomb's unique nuclear signature and send verification to the buyers. All I need is my weapon." Boro says calmly.

    They talk some more about letting Boro shoot the video off site since they won't let an enemy ping their HQ. Then it gets deep. "I'm sorry that you turned out this way." Finn says after some time. "I turned out this way... because you killed Omar Polonia." Boro spits back defensively. "He was a dangerous man. But by killing him, I deprived a little sweet boy of his father. I thought I could fill that space with peanut brittle and gifts and sending you to school, but every kid needs a father figure there." Finn says, you can see he does feel sorry but it's what had to be done in the CIA's eyes. "Some quality time with you would've made me a different man?", "Quality time is a lie peddled by busy parents to alleviate guilt. It's quantity time that counts. So you're there for the wounded knees, and doing science projects, falling asleep watching cartoons together. I'm sorry I deprived you of all these wonderful things.", "Do you regret killing my father?", "No, but I regret what it did to you."
