Jenna shook her head, "It must be skind of industry slang. I'm not exactly sure what it refers to Adler never really explained it toin detail" Sophie remained silent. People like Colby, who walked on the razor's edge every day, surely had their own ways of handling things.

Nichole is taking good care of him. He hardly needs your concern." Sophie, seen through by Jenna, couldn't help but laugh. Indeed, James was well cared for by Nichole. She had no need to worry. Adler nudged Jenna, signaling her to not speak rashly.
