[ This guy really knows how to play stupid, and at which point it might hurt rather than help. He wasn't stupid, but someone who hadn't played both sides of the fence would have no idea. They'd fall for it. Ray didn't. A dumb person with a gun to their throat would babble, sure, but this was deliberate.

He probably knew that Armando wouldn't deliberately shoot him. Accidentally, maybe. Yes, that was why he was all minute movements and obvious concern. One twitch and it could all be over, and Ray's brains would be all over the wall and Armando would supposedly just shrug and move on.

Which was why he had the safety on, under his thumb. ]

That's right, him. Who do you think I'm talking about, the Tooth Fairy?

[ He drew the gun away, moving around Fraser's chair, laying his hand very gently on his shoulder as he passed around him. ]

He's very handsome. Lumberjack sort, huh? I bet you're into that. But don't worry if you're not, it's not like it matters. [ Ray put on his filthiest Armando grin. ]

Which one of you is gonna wear the cuffs?
