   Summary

   "So you're Kendall Roy? The Kendall Roy?"

   "Yeah."

   "All I used to hear about you on the news was that you're a drug addict," Barry looks at Kendall, suddenly serious, "Doing drugs can be a bit of a dealbreaker in this job, you'll have to get clean."

   "I am clean," Kendall says regretfully, "I stopped using for some time, and when I was about to relapse, you killed my fucking dealer."

   "Oh, good!" Barry smiles, unbothered, "Keep it up, buddy."

   "So... basically, I can buy anything we need, if you know the right sources."

   Barry's face turns mischievous, "Anything?"

   "What— what's with the face, I don't like it."

   "Ah, come on," Barry pats Kendall on the arm, "I know a guy that sells very good quality bazookas—"

   "Bazookas?" Kendall frowns, "You're shitting me, you can get that?"

   "Absolutely, you can get anything, you can get a fucking— elephant with a minigun attached to its dick. It's rad, you'll like it."

   ---

   After witnessing Barry commit murder, Kendall Roy—lost and spiraling post-Succession—seeks an end to his suffering. Instead, Barry sees potential. With nothing left to lose, Kendall steps into the world of contract killing.
