The banter felt both familiar and new. A shift in dynamics, with the addition of Frank. The other man was someone Matt had known off and on for close to twenty years now. Kate was a much more recent addition to Matt's life. He was glad for each of them in their own way. Matt knows he can't do this without help.

He preferred something as common but efficiently deadly as a gun. "Living this life, it fucks you up, you know. So either you're already fucked up, or something matters more to you than getting that way."
