The Price Of A Service:

Summary:

Joe needs a favour from Booker during a mission in a place with bad phone reception.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

Joe: "Damn it. I can't get through to Nicky."

 

Joe looks at Booker, who is eating.

 

Joe: "What will it cost me for you to fix the phone line?"

Booker: "Jump into a lake and we can talk."

Joe: "The nearest lake is five miles from here."

Booker: "Do you want to talk with your boyfriend or not?"

 

Two hours later, Nile sits down at the fire after a nap.

 

Nile: "Why is Joe wet? And how did he get a working phone line?"

Booker: "He paid the price for my service. Jump into a lake if you want to talk with your boyfriend. And for the record, getting Joe to do stupid things during a mission when he wants to talk with Nicky is a great way of spending your time when you don't have a telly."

Nile: "You used a signal jammer, didn't you?"

 

Booker shows Nile the signal jammer with a sly smile on his face.

 

Booker: "I won't tell if you don't tell."

Nile: "Okay, but you have to pay my price for my service if you want me not to tell Joe that you used a signal jammer so you could prank him."

Booker: "What do you want?"

Nile: "I want full access to Spotify so I can listen to music for the rest of the mission. And also free internet."

Booker: "Fair enough. Anything is better than jumping into a cold lake. Give me your phone."
