Six skeleton keys.

One for Gus' place.

One for Dad's.

One for Lassie's.

One for Jules.

One for Chief Vick's.

And even one for McNabb's.

When they weren't looking he had taken their keys, worked his charm to have them duplicated no questions asked, and returned them before they were any the wiser.

After everything… he just wanted to cover his bases, just in case something went wrong and he needed easy access.

Really, he didn't want to risk losing someone else and, well, he was better safe than sorry, right?

At least that's what he told himself when he thought about how he went behind their backs.
