An easy laugh slipped past Gus’ lips. Eugene, he definitely meant Eugene, but he wasn’t ready to admit defeat just yet, but after all, he’d only had Phil for a couple more. He was still a baby and needed to mature, but he also understood the need to teach them not to be complete hellions at a young age. Realistically, if he could keep him out of Black’s office, that would be a win for Gus. It meant he probably wouldn’t be fired. (Or disappear, as Black would probably make his death look like an accident, especially because he was prone to fleeing without saying goodbye to people.)

Yeah, that would be great.” Smiled brightly at him as he laughed again. “I really owe you, Ian. Let me know how I can make it up to you, and I will. Promise.” He was good at keeping promises, or he thought, at least.
