Story [edit | edit source]
Marvin Crosby stands hands in pockets against a pillar outside Golzine’s manor. Smoking a cigarette and humming to himself he notices that Ash has arrived, and asks him what he is doing up so early. Hearing Ash comment on the old getting up so early referring to Golzine, he tells him to watch his mouth and he is to call him “Papa Dino”. Hearing that Ash is not here to see him, he continues to speak as he leaves asking him if he is going to make more of those videos, that he was a fan and sneers as he continues. He is cut short at being called a slur, and calls Ash a little brat at being called a white swine. Vexed, he continues to chide Ash to himself thinking if papa didn’t like him so much…
Marvin stands to the left of Gregory alone with Golzine and his cat. He hears them discuss how the gang members sent to murder their target informed them that Ash was there on the night. In response to Golzine musing that they must have talked, or handed him something Marvin grins as he questions whether he should make Ash talk.
On Golzine’s suggestion Marvin drives Ash to meet him in person. Marvin stands back against the wall outside as he waits for their meeting to be over. Turning as Ash thanks him for driving him, he is irked being dismissed as a driver no longer needed for today by calling Ash a little brat, and to just wait.
He turns curious to see Arthur and asks him what he is doing here and listens perplexed with Arthur having an offer for him.[1]
