So, When I first started reading Richonne, I read Pencil Skirt by Foxissofoxy and I was so enamored with how Shane was portrayed in that story that it stayed with me. I love that version of Shane and I wanted to write him with a personality very similar to that. The stories that I have written so far with Shane in them did not call for that particular version of him, but his hilarious personality in that story never left me. So, I decided to write a Richonne story centered around that frustrated Shane. I wrote this with Shane in mind and then wrapped the Richonne fic around it. So not only is this a Richonne Fic, but it is also a Shane fic too. I am not sure if Foxissofoxy will ever read this, but if you do, I hope you like my interpretation of that Shane.

I also wanted to do something with texting, so there will be text messages weaved throughout the story. Some chapters have more than others.

Silly Rick Alert…this is a Silly Rick fic. He is my personal favorite! This one adds a big ole dose of silly Michonne too! After writing the Sovereign, I wanted to write something easy and silly.

Speaking of The Sovereign, I have been working on The Sovereign Moments, which are moments in time during the time period of that story. These are little snapshots of things that happened outside of the story. Some are serious some are silly, and some are a mixture of the two. If you have not read The Sovereign, I suggest you read that first for context before I put the first moment out in a few weeks.

As with any of my stories, your reviews and comments are always appreciated.

Enjoy

Chapter 1-Close Encounters of THE SWAY Kind

"She left me Shane, Michonne left me. I don't know what I did. I got up and she was gone and left me this note," Rick held up his hand to show Shane the crumbled paper bawled in his fist before dropping his arm listlessly back on the couch.

Rick was devastated. He woke up at 4:00am to an empty bed and after making a desperate call to his friend, Shane rushed right over tohis brother who was hurting and in complete despair, but not before calling Darryl, Glenn, and Abe.

"Why she leave you man? What'd you do?" Asked a perplexed Shane pacing back and forth in front of Rick who was slouched on the family room couch.

"I don't know. I thought everything was great especially when she decided to move in permanently a month ago. Everything was great! Only thing I can think of is she might be back with Mike," sobbed Rick who had been crying off and on since he read the Dear John Letter.

"Well fuck her Rick, it's her loss, now get yourself together, the guys are on their way and we are going to celebrate because anybody that would leave you with just a note, ain't worth your time anyway, so good riddance," bellowed an angry but disappointed Shane.

Shane liked Michonne. In fact, he loved her. Not in the romantic way, but in a sister/brother manner. Shane thought Michonne had been great for Rick. His friend was happy again. Shane shook his head in complete disbelief that Michonne was even capable of doing something this mean and hurtful.

"I thought Michonne was so much better than this buddy," Shane said as he shook his head at the circumstance.

Shane did not know how they were all going to still work together. He could not just fire Michonne. She was damn good at her job. This was a disaster. There was a knock at the door and when Shane answered it, Glenn came rushing in to give his friend a hug. Shane rolled his eyes at the recently overly emotional and dramatic pair. Shane thought about nicknaming the duo Tears and Hugs.

"Rick, I am here for you dude. What did you do?" Asked a sympathetic Glenn and Rick just shrugged his shoulders, to upset to speak anymore.

By this time, both Darryl and Abe arrived and when they walked inside the house and saw the sad display before them, all they could do was shake their heads and take a deep breath. They were trying to figure out the right words that would make Rick feel better but were drawing blanks. Darryl was about to speak even though he had no clue exactly what words were going to come out of his mouth, when Rick's phone rang. Darryl looked at the caller ID and answered it when he saw it was Michonne.

"Haven't you done enough Chonne, I mean leaving him with a Dear John Letter? Not even face-to-face and tellin' him why?" Hollered an angry accusatory Darryl.

"What are you talking about Darryl?" Questioned a confused Michonne.

"Rick said you left him a note saying you was leavin?" Repeated a now irate Darryl.

Shane then grabbed the phone from Darryl.

"WHAT THE FUCK MICHONNE? HOW COULD YOU...wait what?" Shane listened to Michonne for a few minutes then hung up the phone and stared at Rick, pissed off yet again.

Over the last few months there was not a day that passed that Shane could remember that Rick had not caused him to blow a fuse. Rick had Shane on edge, and this just might be the tipping point. Shane blew out an annoyed breath and rolled his hands through his hair then down his face to try to calm himself down before he proceeded.

"Dumbass, did you read the note?" asked Shane trying to stay composed but failing epically as his face started to twist into a deep grimace.

Shane was standing over Rick with clenched fists. He wanted to knock Rick the fuck out.

"I read what I needed to read Shane!" Rick hollered as he looked up at Shane from his slumped position on the couch with both sadness and anger in his eyes.

Shane rolled his neck to try and release some tension then cracked it on each side. The neck pop was so loud and so hard Rick jumped. Then Shane stared at Rick as he cracked his knuckles. Shane blew out a breath of extreme annoyance and stepped to Rick angrily and snatched the note out of Rick's hand and read it aloud.

Dear Rick,

I'm leaving. I didn't want to wake you because you were exhausted and needed the rest. But I need to go.

"I don't need to hear this again!" Rick interrupted with a shout and lunged for the letter.

Shane dodged, and Rick fell into Glenn's open arms and his friend placed him into another comfortable embrace and Rick did not move from it, starting to sob again on Glenn's shoulder. While Glenn held his distressed friend, Shane continued to read the note even more perturbed at the dramatics of his imbecile friends.

Got a call in the middle of the night and my sister was rushed to the emergency room with a near burst appendix. I will call you and let you know the plan after I talk to her husband. I may have to stay and help with their kids. Our parents are out of the country, and our brother is an idiot so, I'm it! YAY! I will be back later to get Andre and Carl if they want to stay the night with me and the kids at my sister's house.

Love you,

Michonne

Shane stared at his friend, his brother, like he wanted to punch him and decided he needed to voice that inclination.

"I should punch you in your goddammed throat for making us get up this early and rushing over here for this bullshit Rick. What the fuck is wrong with you," yelled Shane crumbling the letter and throwing it at Rick's chest.

Rick bent down to pick up the letter, tears now replaced with a huge grin.

"I'm sorry, I guess I panicked!" Rick responded overjoyed that he got it all wrong and reaching for his phone to call Michonne back.

"Panicked? All you had to do was goddammed READ Rick! Crisis fucking averted!" Shouted Shane.

"Shane, calm down, Rick has gone through something traumatic, stupid, but still traumatic," pled Glenn.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP GLENN AND STOP TAKING UP FOR HIM! I. AM. TIRED!" Screamed Shane.

Glenn: Shane hurt my feelings. Crying emoji

Darryl: He does appear to be even more high strung this morning.

Abe: I think Rick has finally sent him over the edge ass clenched and testicles tight.

Shane: I am on the text you stupid motherfuckers!

Darryl chuckled and put his phone back in his pocket.

"You know we gonna to drag your stupid ass for life over this right?" Darryl laughed slapping Rick on the shoulder.

Rick did not care. He was thrilled beyond belief that Michonne was still his. Was still with him. Abe could not stop laughing at his friend. Ever since Rick met Michonne, he has been different. Rick was lovesick and acting all kinds of crazy. Abe Loved it!

"All right calm down. Let's all go get breakfast at our usual spot. It's still early so it won't be crowded," suggested Abe.

"I'm going the fuck home," yelled a highly irritated Shane. "This has been the most ridiculous stunt yet Rick, and since you met Michonne, there has been a lot of crazy shit to choose from! I have no idea what she sees in your dumb country ass!"

Rick: That hurt.

Glenn: You are not dumb. You need another hug? Worried emoji

Shane seemed to have been channeling Abe's thoughts to a tee, just with a tinge more resentment and fury. Abe thought the change in Rick was delightful. Shane thought it was ludicrous. Since Michonne entered the picture, Rick has been different, but in the most wonderous way.

Abe: Shane needs some stress relief.

Glenn: I can give him a hug? Wondering emoji

"Who the hell are you numb nuts texting?" Screamed a very agitated Shane as his eyes narrowed as all his friends with their phones out.

Darryl: Shane needs more than a hug. Peach emoji

Rick: He needs him a Michonne. Grinning emoji

Abe: Shut the Fuck up Rick, up until two minutes ago, you didn't have a Michonne! LOL!

Darryl: ROTFLMAO!

Rick: Glenn, I need a hug

Glenn: heart eyes emoji

Glen rushed to sit by his friend to offer more support. Darryl started and laughing, and Shane rolled his eyes. HARD.

"No, you're not going home Shane, commanded Abe, "you are going to calm yourself then pull your lady thong out of your tight ass and get a grip. Only reason you are mad is because you have had to be the rational one and start being more responsible while Rick is going through this…. hopefully, temporary puppy dog phase."

Abe hoped Rick would settle down a little bit. Not too much. Abe loved the new carefree Rick. He just thought Rick needed to bring his antics and reactions down from a ten to a three. But they all knew, Michonne definitely brought out the best in Rick, even if his best was silly as hell.

"Wasn't that long ago we was helping you out of your outrageous shenanigans," Glenn smirked at Shane.

"Remember that woman with the missing eye that you woke up beside and we had to come pick up your nonselective ass cuz her glass eye was sitting on the nightstand starting at you? Your dumb ass was hidin' behind some damn bushes in the back of a sleezy motel because she was searching for you with her good eye," cracked Darryl with his hand over one eye making fun of his friend, "Cut him some slack."

"It ain't the same, but I get your point. But Rick, you got your girl. You need to stop acting like you ain't got no sense. Please, you are wearing me the fuck out," pled Shane.

Before Rick met Michonne, one could say Rick was boring and predictable. Even his women were boring and predictable. Only reason he divorced his wife Lori was because she had an affair, and not because her voice could put a cheering crowd to sleep, or her hobbies included reading about how to be the best boring person you could be and cooking the most boring meals in the world. Neither did he divorce her because of her boring hair and her boring skinny, unshapely, bony body, nor her boring face, which had only two looks, boring and even more boring. Even when Lori was mad, she was still boring and that is because she was always angry about something, but one could never tell for sure if she was super angry because she was just so damn boring. Her arguments were boring. The affair was the most exciting thing that happened to both of them during their entire marriage outside of having a baby, which by the way even the doctor thought that was boring too. Her lackluster pushing was off-putting, and the obstetrician actually yawned several times during the whole delivery. Lori was so basic and boring that when she left Rick for the man with whom she was having an affair, Negan laughed in her boring face and told her he just needed to "get his rocks off" while he was in town and she was the most mind-numbingly boring lay he had ever had. She tried to run her boring ass back to Rick, begging him in her boring, monotonous, voice to take her back, but having an affair was Rick's line in the sand and refused, even for his then six-year-old son Carl. That was two years ago.

Instead of learning from his bore of an ex-wife, a year and a half after the divorce was final, Rick went straight to another boring blah woman. Jessie Anderson was basically Lori with a blond wig. It was essentially Lori 2.0. Jessie had the same boring basic face and boring skinny body and boring flat ass that Lori had. Rick did the same thing day in and day out with little excitement in his life with Jessie too. That was because Jessie was boring and basic as hell too. Jessie ate the same boring tasteless salad every day for lunch, did the same boring workout at the same time every day, talked on end about boring ass owls every chance she could, which was often. She talked incessantly and every word that came out of her mouth was, you guessed it, boring. Jessie always opted to stay in and cook the same boring, flavorless meals for Rick instead of going out to eat at nice restaurants and eat food with an actual taste to it. It was tedious. Rick did not know any different, so he did not know there was something out there better than boring, so he was content with it all. Content with both he and Jessie just being plain old, sugar free, fat free, flavor free vanilla pudding BORING. Rick had no clue he needed some full bodied, tasty, decadent chocolate cake in his life.

Boring Rick was such a shame because before Rick met Lori, and even up until about a year into his marriage to her, Rick was a completely different person. Rick was charming, funny, silly, cocky, confident, sexy, intense, territorial, and possessive (in a good way) all in one very ruggedly handsome package. After a couple of years married to Lori, she chipped away at all those great traits until he was just left with BORING. And after Lori cheated, it completely took away his confidence and left Rick a shell of his former self.

Rick was also the rational one of his crew of friends. He was the person they would all go to for advice and help them out of the ridiculous situations they always managed to find themselves in. He was steadfast and who you could count on and turn to in a crisis. Lately, that had not been the case. And not in a bad way. Michonne brought out the best in Rick. He was enjoying life and having fun and being adventurous, both in and out of the bedroom. Michonne also brough out a more confident Rick. Rick was happy and his friends realized that they had never really seen Rick happy. He was smiling every single day now. Giddy. Rick just managed to always take it a step too far. Rick could not help it. Michonne made him want to run down the street singing. Made him want to, according to Shane, "act out" in the most ridiculous and absurd manner.

Rick sat on his couch blinking erratically at his friends as he reflected back on just how crazy he and his life has been since he met Michonne. He would do anything for her, and sometimes, yes, it might have been a little much. But he would not change a single thing.

It all started with THE SWAY. A sensual one. Rick tried to look away, but he could not. Never in his boring southern gentleman life had he openly ogled a woman in public. Her sway was a powerful thang. Starting inappropriately, well that was usually Shane and Abe's MO, but not today. Rick's excessive blinking at the unbelievable sight in front of him caused him to become irritated, which made matters worse because it exaggerated his mannerisms as he glared. He kept rubbing his eyes and fidgeting from foot to foot trying to focus. He tried to force himself to not blink at all, so he did not miss one single swing of her hips. Not one bounce of that fantastic ass. Rick was hypnotized.

Rick and his boys retired from being King County Sheriff deputies, a tad under two years ago, while Rick was smack dab in the middle of his divorce. All except Darryl, he retired from his mechanic job to join his friends on their new venture. They QUIT their jobs was more accurate, but they liked to say retired since they all still had fond memories of life on the force (and the automotive center). They all decided that they wanted something different. Something more than what King County had to offer.

The move helped with Rick's disposition. He did not have to see Lori, or deal with the people in town giving him sad looks and such. The timing was perfect and made the divorce go that much smoother, especially since Lori did not have the luxury to stop by the station or Shane's home where Rick was living temporarily to continually beg for forgiveness. There was a high possibility that Lori would have harassed him until he gave in and took her back just to make constant pestering and aggravation stop.

All the guys had a very specific and valuable skill set so they combined their talents and started their own security company in Atlanta. And not just any security company, a high-end one. GARDS Security. The name drew some contention with the owners. Shane was mad that his initial was not first since the company was his idea. Rick thought people were going to think they misspelled GUARDS and not get any business due to being labeled as possible illiterates. Glenn was delighted because his initial was first. Abe was thrilled because as the only one with a vowel as the first letter of his name, his initial, he claimed, was the most important. Darryl could care less and thought his friends were being dumbasses and suggested the name be a placeholder until they could come up with a better one. They never did and GARDS Security stuck.

Glenn was in forensics on the force but specialized in technology and in the new company he became a Senior Security Analyst, specifically cybersecurity. He hired Eugene six months after they were established as a Junior Security Analyst to round out his division of the company. Both did the exact same thing, with Eugene being much better at the job than Glenn, but Glenn wanted a higher rank since he was part owner of the company so the titles of Senior and Junior Analyst was created. Eugene has been with the company the longest of the non-owners at a year and a half.

Rick and Shane were Security Consultants, and their main job was to be the face of the company and provide general security insights, both physical and technological to clients. They were the first inside a company determining the security needs and negotiating the deals and contracts.

Abraham was the Security Manager, and he oversaw all operations and personnel in the organization. He directed the staff, established security policies and protocols, and budget. He was the most organized of the group and his stint as an operations officer in the army gave him the needed experience for the job, in which he excelled. Abe hired Maggie Green six months ago as Head of Human Resources to help take a few tasks off his plate. It was almost the best hire ever, until Glenn started making goo goo eyes at her on a daily basis. It was cute until it wasn't, and Abe had to constantly shoo him away and refocus him back on his own work. Eugene would sometimes go down and watch the spectacle that Glenn was causing. It was weird.

Darryl was the Security Specialist. He was not only good with automotive, but he was also pretty damn proficient in electrical too. Darryl maintained the technical components of the organization including key card entry systems and digital security for businesses. He hired Rosita Espinoza to be part of the specialist team and she came on board a month after Maggie in August.

Together they ran one of the most successful and most elite security companies in Georgia and were quickly branching out and securing clients outside the state too. GARDS used a law firm to handle most contracts, but Abraham suggested they bring in their own in-house lawyer along with another addition to the human resource team and also an in-house accountant. They could afford it and they would save them, according to Abe, a "shit ton" of much money if they hired their own staff. So, Shane put out some feelers and were now knee deep in interviews for the three new positions.

And that is where Rick first saw THE SWAY. He had just arrived back to the office and was on his way into the conference room to sit-in on the attorney interviews when all of a sudden, he became so mesmerized that he followed THE SWAY into the reception area and just stood there, watching, and waiting for it to start to SWAY again. Shane, who noticed Rick's demeaner could not believe what he was seeing. Shane actually rubbed his eyes to make sure he was correct in the assumption that his friend was sexually harassing the applicants! Shane began an urgent pace to the reception area, but before he could intervene and stop a definite and legitimate sexual harassment claim, the woman turned around to face Rick perplexed at what he was doing. She smirked when she realized that he was staring at her ass because when she turned around, his eyes did not move up to her face. She rolled her eyes and took a breath. Rick did not notice her glower because he never looked up, he was waiting for whomever owned that fine backside to turn back around so he could watch it some more.

"Is there something that I can help you with sir?" The dark-skinned beauty asked arms crossed.

ABE: ARE YA'LL SEEING THIS SHIT!

Glenn: NO WHAT! excited emoji

Darryl: Rick is gonna get fired from his own company! LOL

Abe: And by the looks of that hot ass woman's face, a beat down too!

Darryl: Look at Shane, he looks like he wants to punch the shit out of Rick. All of his veins are throbbing.

Rick finally stopped gawking at her ass and gazed upon her face. Rick was stunned. As fantastic as her ass was, her face was pure magic. When the extremely beautiful woman in front of him repeated the question, Rick was mortified and could not get the sound to come out of his mouth. He tried, but his mouth just kept opening and closing and all he could do was eek out a small, squeak. The sound was bizarre to say the least, and when he saw the confused look etched across her face, he ran off and tripped on a cord laying haphazardly on floor and fell flat on his face. That was the moment that Rick went from being boring to being silly.

Glenn: Rick are you ok? You need some help buddy? Ambulance emoji

Rick felt his phone vibrate but did not want to stop and check it. He just wanted to duck and hide somewhere.

'That man is strange as hell,' thought the beauty as she watched him jump quickly from the floor, embarrassment evident on his fully reddened face. Rick got up and continued walking towards the conference room and did not look back at the woman, he also did not look forward as he had his eyes closed wishing to be anywhere other than in that office at that particular moment and ended up bumping straight into Shane. The woman chuckled and Rick heard and felt even more humiliated. Shane, who by now was horrified having seen the whole situation played out like an insane movie starting with the inappropriate staring to the embarrassing fall and ending with a nice bumbling bump against him. Shane just shook his head at his discombobulated friend. It was an unbelievable scene to say the least.

Abe: why is little Rick standing at attention Rick? At the office, Really? You dirty bastard! LMAO

Glenn: Rick are you ok? Upside down emoji

Darryl: Go give him a hug Glenn, let's see if you can reach around that!

Shane: Stop texting and get your asses in the conference room! When she sues us broke, is that gonna be LMAO you shit for brains?

Shane was fit to be tied and stepped within an inch of Rick's face.

"Can you, ONE- not sexually harass our interviewees. TWO-embarrass yourself in front of said interviewees, and THREE- control your damn mini-Rick? Get yourself together man. What the hell is wrong with you today?" Asked Shane who after one look at their first interview of the day figured out quickly what ailed his friend.

Rick looked down and he did indeed need to get control of his little friend and darted into the restroom. Rick looked at himself in the mirror, this was so unlike him. He was the most serious and strait-laced of the group and now he was acting like a damn idiot. But that ass. DEAR GOD THAT ASS! It made him downright ungentlemanly. Then those eyes.

"DAMN," he breathed to himself, then splashed some very cold water on his face, and exited the restroom once his member was under control.

Rick checked his phone and drew a breath. They all saw it. That meant teasing. Rick thought he was already humiliated enough; the teasing might just send him pummeling towards insanity.

When Rick finally walked into the conference room, she was already seated with her brows furrowed on her beautiful face looking directly at him. Rick closed his eyes, this had to be the most disgraceful experience of his life. Rick's mama would be so ashamed. Shane hoped and prayed the woman did not file a complaint, but when he looked at her and saw the amusement in her eyes, he blew out a sigh of relief.

"Let's get started with this interview please," Shane looked directly at Rick with disdain.

Rick looked at her left hand and smiled when he noticed that she was not wearing a ring. 'She's single,' Rick thought thrilled, a huge smile now spread across his face.

Darryl, Glenn, Abraham were also in attendance as this was a big decision and all owners had to have a say in the new hires. They were excited to see what would happen during the interview after witnessing Rick's antics and Shane's fury. They laughed at the look on both of their faces. Shane looked angry and Rick looked giddy.

"Tell me a little about your qualifications, uhhh how do you pronounce your first name?" Asked Shane.

"Michonne. Michonne Jackson. I graduated from Harvard Law and have been a corporate attorney for six years with one of the top law firms in Atlanta. And full disclosure, I'm leaving because I keep getting passed over for partner consideration even though I bring in more clients and money. The other main reason is I have a six-year-old son that I want to spend more time with. I was thinking about starting my own firm, but that has its own set of rigors. But when I saw this opportunity, I thought it would be a better fit. Plus, I made many business contacts while at the firm that may benefit from your services. I may be able to help bring in some new clients," smiled Michonne as she finished answering the first question.

"Well, that sounds great!" Exclaimed Rick. "You're Hired!"

Abe: Goddammed, we just got started and Rick is already acting a fool!

Darryl: This is going to be the best interview ever.

Glenn: Should I put my hand on his knee to calm him down? wondering emoji

ABE: Hell no!

Darryl: Hell yes!

Abe: I meant HELL YES! Can you reach Shane's knee too?

Darryl: ROTFLMAO

Michonne was confused and Shane was livid. He balled his fists under the table to try and control the outburst that was just on the verge of spilling out. Shane instead took a deep breath and whispered to Rick through gritted teeth.

"We ain't even asked no questions yet. Get your unprofessional ass the fuck outta here Rick," spat Shane.

Shane wanted Rick to leave and sit this one out when he realized that this woman had turned Rick into a blubbering, sexually harassing idiot. Rick looked to Darryl and Abraham who were trying unsuccessfully to hold back their laughter at Rick's sudden thirst for Michonne Jackson. Glenn was giving him empathetic puppy dogs eyes and Rick decided to stay put. He was not going anywhere. Rick did not intend to let Michonne out of his sight for one single minute plus forever if he could help it. He was going to enjoy feasting upon her for as long as he could.

"If you are gonna stay, then shut the fuck up. You got me cussing at work in the middle of a damn interview. If you say one word, I will personally throw your ass out of this conference room myself," Shane tried to say under his breath but Michonne still heard and let out a giggle that she quickly covered with a cough.

Michonne noticed how eye-catching Rick was and his goofy yet strange behavior was kinda cute and added to his overall attractiveness. Michonne was perplexed because normally she would not have put up with a man blatantly staring and willing her ass to move. Michonne knew what she was working with and she made damn sure that men knew that she would not stand for any inappropriate comments or actions. But Michonne realized his behavior was not deliberate nor was it meant to be offensive, that she knew for sure, he seemed to just have temporarily lost his goofy ass mind, so she cut him some slack. She had to admit, Rick was adorable, and she was definitely interested but, if she got the job, she would have to cool those feelings. Workplace romances were usually frowned upon and could terribly awry.

The interview went very well with very few hiccups other than Rick's silly grin every time Michonne spoke or Rick articulating out loud that all of her answers to the questions were "perfect." Shane was beside himself. He had never experienced this side of Rick, and he did not like it one bit. After Michonne left, they all looked at Rick waiting on an explanation for his behavior. All were amused except Shane.

"What?" Exclaimed Rick as they all eyed him with wonder, "I say we hire her. She has my vote!"

Darryl: Rick is lovestruck

Shane: you think I don't see that dumb ass!

Darryl: Shane is gonna get beat.

Shane: By who? YOU? BRING IT!

Darryl: Sorry, meant that for just Glenn and Abe.

Shane rolled his eyes at a chuckling Darryl.

"Can we discuss the damn interview first Rick? Discuss what she had to say before we vote? Is that alright with you?" Shane bellowed with one fist balled ready to knock his crazy friend out if necessary.

Rick sat back as they discussed whether or not Michonne was a good fit. Darryl thought she was a great sport with a good sense of humor and voted yes, along with Glenn, Abraham and of course Rick.

"I like her," said Shane, "but if weirdo Rick over here is gonna be a thing, then maybe we should keep interviewing for the position," Shane emphasized as he cut his eyes at the lunatic sitting beside him.

Rick side-eyed Shane right back.

"Majority rules anyway, so she is hired," stated Rick and walked out of the conference room with as much swagger as he could muster under the circumstances.

"Come the fuck back here Rick! We got more interviews fool!" Yelled Shane.
