Double date?

"Let me get this straight," Douglas said, raising an eyebrow. "You disappeared for a year after the divorce, went to Thailand for the full reassignment package. For the past three months, you've been exchanging spicy messages with your ex-wife's new husband—the guy who caused your divorce in the first place. And now you're meeting him to, uh...

Douglas laughed, shaking his head. "So, you're asking me to be the consolation prize after your revenge? Man, you really haven't changed at all!"

It wasn't fair, but Hank didn't want to cause any trouble.  One day, as he was scrubbing the bathroom floor, he heard Marcus on the phone in the other room. He wasn't trying to eavesdrop, but he couldn't help but overhear the conversation. Marcus was talking to one of his buddies about how he

However, over the years, the lines between right and wrong had blurred, and he found himself sinking deeper into the world of corruption. Jack had become a dirty cop, using his position to protect the very criminals he was supposed to bring to justice. Among those criminals was Carlos Ramirez, a notorious drug dealer with a shrewd mind and an extensive network. Carlos and Jack had formed an unlikely alliance that lasted for years. Jack's connections within the police force proved invaluable to Carlos, who rewarded him with a cut of his illicit earnings.
