Panel 1
Lucy leads Li and Fred through the concourse
Lucy: So who’s the tall drink of water you came in with?
Li: You’ll find out when I tell your boss.
Panel 2
The trio are now in a small vestibule, opposite them a pair of heavy doors have opened wide, revealing the silhouette of an exomorphic character, hands braced on his hips.

Caption: Not long afterward:
Character: Jesús Fucking Hernandez! You smelly old fart, I didn’t think I’d see your sorry ass back here again.
Lucy: He’s my biographer.
Panel 3
The boss strides manacingly towards Li as Lucy steps aside.

Li: Ricky Herrero, you sweaty meat-sack, my farts smell like roses compared to you.
Ricky: THAT DOES IT

Panel 4
Ricky lifts Li up by the armpits, suddenly all smiles. Li likewise.
Ricky: Great to see ya, cuz! You look like hell, though.
Li: I’ve been too busy for a rejuve. Just one more job and I can take some time off.

Panel 5
Ricky and Li walk side-by side, arms around shoulders, into the back office. Lucy follows.
Ricky: So what’s the job?
Li: I’m tracking the person suspected of sabotaging Novo Paolo’s defenses when the Gran Raio hit.
Ricky: Ah, the elusive and deadly Zondra Quirós.

Panel 6
The inner office has four comfy chairs arrayed around a central display orb. The seat nearest to Ricky has a small table next to it. Ricky gestures for Li to take one of the other seats.

Ricky: Everyone in the known universe has seen that Bolivar Clark video of her killing Albert Montoya.
Li: Apparently now the elusive, deadly, and infamous Zondra Quirós.
