— CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PROMOTION,— he said as he hugged his old partner.
— Thanks, I know you're retired, but...
Smith pulled Nolan aside when he saw Claire peering through the window at them.
— I think we'd better talk somewhere else.
— Nolan, you bastard, denatured son of a bitch,— Claire shouted from the window, — it's not enough to have stolen my husband for over fifty years, you want to take him away from home again, don't you bastard bastard?
— It's really good to see you again, Claire, your hair is beautiful.
She gave him the middle finger and waved her hand as if ignoring him and disappeared from their sight.
The two friends laughed.
— There are things that never change.
