Rob came to a stop as Johnny did, and his brows furrowed at this. There wasn't a nod or an agreement to the proposed plan. There was a skip right to the possibility that they were looking for a woman instead of a man; such things weren't really that out of the ordinary. A woman could be just as dangerous as a man, and just as cruel. He had accepted that long ago.
"So, we're looking for a woman now who likes making a mess of pretty faces?" It wasn't at all awkward to stand outside a store with some guy who made his living off people's bad decisions. A man who had no idea who Rob was to Mary.
"So, you know him?" It was a stupid question perhaps, but sometimes stupid questions got conversations going.
