    Summary

    Given the nature of their work, Dark knew that everyone around him was some manner of awful or desperate.

    “Jack” seemed, in particular, to fall into the second category.

    Jack had only joined the operation about eight months ago, dealing with all of Anti’s paperwork ― a blessing, if you asked Dark, because Anti was awful at paperwork. For all his technical prowess, he simply lacked the desire to fill out reports or invoices, and they were sloppy and rushed when he did bother with them. His words, if Dark recalled, had been that he “simply does not vibe with paperwork”. Jack did not appear to have the same issue.

    Anti’s fondness for him, if nothing else, had led Dark to expect someone of a significantly more ambiguous moral standing than Jack had so far turned out to be, if not someone who was just as much a bastard as Anti was.

    And Jack was not a bastard.

    Not that Dark had seen, at least.

    And Dark was, God help him, curious.

    --

    OR, Dark and Anti work together. Anti has brought Jack into the fold, and now that Anti is out of town on an important job, Dark has been tasked with keeping Jack out of the hands of their less upstanding coworkers.
