Hit men are not naturally gregarious people

Are these characters based on anyone in real life?

Well, sort of. I lived in Ediburgh Scotland for five years and there was this one time in a pub called the The Pear Tree where I saw three guys sitting around a table. They were just drinking and not talking to each other. They all looked pretty stern but not hardcore or anything. They also looked like they wouldn't really have anything to do with each other under normal circumstances. It got me thinking about what they common thread between them all could possibly be.

They'd probably just finished a day at work on the same job site but I liked to think that they were assassins.

"They'd probably just finished a day at work on the same job site but I liked to think that they were assassins."

It *is* an attractive notion.

That's right. : )
