[ He grins, sharp and predatory-- for all the world, it's just like he's still in his nice new office on Helios, staring Rhys down and dashing his promotion to bits. Vasquez didn't really think he'd be pleased about being in Norfinbury, but it definitely did have one upside-- he got to do this again. ]
Money, Rhys. Dollar signs get things done, and you'd be surprised who you can buy with a billfold in the right spot. You ever had that kind of hold on somebody? 'Course not, who am I kidding. Lemme tell you, though, it's great. You can get people to do all kinds of things when you strike a good deal! Liiike...track their friends and give you the info on their every step in exchange for a cut of the reward money, for example. People really, really feel it when you get 'em by the wallet. Perfect way to get what you want.
[ Vasquez gives a pleased sigh at the thought, looking an infuriating mixture of incredibly self-assured and amused. But his focus shifts back to Rhys again, and the wistful smile on his face turns knifelike all too easily. ]
So, for a little play-by-play-- your friends betrayed you for money-- and not just any money! My money. Past that, you trusted the wrong people, pissed me off yet again, and now you're stuck in Snowhell, as you called it. Even better, you"re in here with me! And you know what that means, right? I gotta make up for lost time and missed opportunities. But there's, like...months to do that in. Lots of months. We're gonna be at this a while, pal. You ready to see how long you can last?
