You want to make a statement?
We've been known to hang bodies from the Reno Arch.

No witnesses, no evidence, and no questions asked.

But in order to take the job, we have to also agree to protect the spoiled brat who saw everything.

Small. Frail. Innocent. Frightened.
I made her my little birdie, but she always wants to fly away.
Too bad for her I've clipped her wings and locked her in my cage.
They say free birds sing, and caged birds pray. Her cries sound the same to me.
