With a considerable amount of cash now in their possession, the smart money says that the two should leave town as soon as possible (before someone collects on them) and go some place where no one knows them. Some place where their violent past won’t find them. Some place where they can get a fresh start. Kane, however, refuses to leave without confirming that Jaycee–his partner and best friend–is okay.

Now ready to put himself out there, he realizes his awkwardness around women might need some work. Luckily, Dani offers to coach him on the art of dating.
