After removing his bullet-grazed suit jacket, he hears a knock on his door and opens, his gun hidden behind his back. And when he does, the visitor is just his girlfriend. She's a cute African-American lady in a diner waitress uniform, and she says she was just stopping by on her way to work. She gives him a little peck on the lips, even. She says she tried to call him earlier, and he apologizes for having been busy. She reminds him of their dinner plans that night, and when he looks worried, she wonders if he forgot. He claims he didn't. Really? He made dinner plans with his girlfriend on the evening of the day he was launching multiple terror attacks against the United States? No wonder he's so frustrated with Taylor's stubbornness; this should have taken him a half day. "It's just, I've got some business to attend to," he excuses. Calling him "Samuel," she tells him he works too much; always on the phone when he comes into her diner. Maybe she should work at Luke's. He claims he needs to work hard, "so that one day I can finally take you away from that awful place you work in." Wow, Dubaku has a surprisingly pleasant smile. I guess that's what happens when you floss with the tendons of Sangalan children. They kiss again, and she takes off. Dubaku sets his gun on the table and calls Vossler, who says he's about three minutes away. Dubaku directs Vossler to go around back of the Korean grocery across the street from his building, where one of his men will meet him and take Henry off his hands. "What are you going to do to him?" Vossler asks, a bit belatedly if you ask me. "Just make sure you weren't followed," Dubaku snaps. Sure, now he's all careful about that. When he hangs up, it's 3:00:00.M. Giant is a Minneapolis-based writer with a wife, a son, and a number of cats that seems to have settled at around two.
