03-Whistle while you work

[lovemarked]

[After a short burst of static and a disorienting tumble, the camera focuses on a somewhat messy apartment.  From off camera comes slightly off-key humming to the tune of “Whistle While You Work”.  Justine comes into view with her hair in slightly messy pigtails and a half full bag of garbage in one hand.  She seems to have been dusting as there is

Justine. How are you?

[lovemarked]

I've been better.

[dresden4hire]

Just ignore her, Justine. Don't even talk to her.

[lovemarked]

Why didn't anyone tell me she was here?

[dresden4hire]

I guess we all just thought the other person did.

[lovemarked]

Well, I guess it just slipped through the cracks. Is there anything else I might consider important that no one has told me?

[dresden4hire]

Did anyone go over the "don't lick anyone" rule with you? That's an important one.

[lovemarked]

I'm sorry. What?

[dresden4hire]

Nevermind, bad joke.

[lovemarked]

Is now really the time?

[dresden4hire]

It's always time for a bad joke.

Harry, what do I do about Bianca? I really don't want to spend the rest of my life time here looking over my shoulder.

[dresden4hire]

She won't hurt you, Justine. We won't let her. And she won't risk her "good standing" in the City to try and get to you.

[lovemarked]

Okay... but what's stopping her from sending someone else to do it? I thought I was done worrying about her. This is seriously messed up.

[dresden4hire]

I'm stopping her. I'm not going to let her hurt you, Justine.

[lovemarked]

Okay. I'm sorry for causing all this trouble.
