Boundaries.

Damien and Eddie were taken by car (everyday sedan) to their territory and Damien was given the keys to the small house that would serve as the base of his operation.

Damien took off one of the keys and gave it to Eddie. “You’ll be living here right?”

Eddie was average in every way. Damien, having studied him discreetly the entire way over decided that if he had to pull him out of a line up, he’d just choose the most average looking person he could find. Brown hair was neat and tidy and didn’t go past his ears. Glasses framed brown eyes that were dark or light depending on the light around them. No facial hair and no scarring or tattoos completed the ensemble. He was also dressed like a suburban banker at home for the holidays. Button down shirt on top of slacks.

‘Completely average’ Damien thought. ‘Probably a very smart guy though.’

“Yes I am. I will be here when you need me, although I bet you’ll be here a lot too.”

“I will be. I have to go to school in the mornings though. Appearances and all that.”

“County college?” He asked.

“High School.”

Damien walked away from Eddie who looked shocked. He wasn’t shocked for long though, they entered the house together.
