James is staring down at the cup I handed him. He hasn't taken a single sip of it. I take it from his hand and take a drink.

"You're just giving me a job and letting me go?" he asks confused.

"What did you think I was going to do?"

"Keep me in a box until you require my services,"

"You're a very naive woman," he scoffs.
