"Blood is thicker than water, but you need both to survive."

"Grandpa, who is he calling a grandpa..", I mumble, looking at Tony who turned his back to us.

"You're mumbling.", Max tells me and there's a smile on his face.

I squint my eyes at him, "What are you laughing about?".

He shakes his head," What really happened? Why did I have to fish you two out of the ocean?".

I let out a sigh, leaning my back on the boat, "The long or the short version?".

"Surprise me.", Max answers.

"Well Jefferson went rogue and tried the kill the both of us.".

Max opens his mouth, a frown on his face.

"That's not what I expected."

I nod, but hold up my hand, "That's not all. Jefferson was about to kill us but then Gustavo came and killed him. Turns out he also wanted to kill us. That lead us to jumping into the ocean, an absolute great and well thought-out plan.", I say the last bit purposely louder, receiving a middle finger in return.

A snort leaves Max lips and I turn my head in his direction.

"What now?".

"Nothing.", he says, "It's just that you two are acting like an old married couple."

Old married...?

"We are clearly not.", I mutter out, folding my arms over my chest.

Max looks at me sceptically but doesn't comment on it further.

"Okay, so Jefferson and Gustavo wanted to kill you for power but how does he fit into this?", Max asks, pointing towards Tony who is now nervously biting his nails.

"We played Poker together and somehow they got the idea that we work together.", I answer him and he has that same expression on his face.

"Wonder how they got that idea from.", Max whispers.

"Why are you even here?", I ask him. He never could have known that this would happen.
