Ch. 5 - Cognomen

“Wanna go grab a drink and have some private conversation somewhere else?” Jack asked her directly.

“I don’t know,” she replied tentatively, “You’re obviously a law breaker. I don’t know if I can associate with you.”

Jack began to make his way back to the glass door, “Suit yourself.”

“What exactly are you here for? Who do you know here?”

“I’m just one among many,” he replied calmly, “So, how about that drink?”

“I have to . . .”

Jack opened the door, and made his way inside. She followed him into the hallway.

“Wait. Wait. What is your name?” she called out.

Jack stood in front of the elevator, turned, and addressed her, “Names, ha,” he scoffed, “Names aren’t important.”

He exited into the elevator. The doors closed behind him as she stared down across an empty hallway.
