Good question. Gabe had said he didn't need to worry about money, but how likely was that to remain true? Or would he require something else, and if so, what? (Johnny is mildly concerned that it might end up being sexual favors. He supposes he could survive something like that, if it really cane down to it, but no way would Jodie tolerate it.)

"I really don't know," he lies, because it's simpler. "But I'm gonna call him, because it's something, at least. If you want we could just... arrange to meet him? And you can decide for yourself."

This would sure make HIM feel better, having Jodie with him. He wonders if he should feel pathetic that she's becoming his bodyguard of sorts, but hey, at least he stood up for her in her dream.

"I'll need quarters," he adds, patting his pockets.
