Harold had a hard time holding in his amusement, a long snort devolving into childish laughter.
"Alright enough of this." Howard stated, glaring at his brother from the back seat.
"The point I was making was that while we did not know about her... specialty, we did know about her line of employment- "
"Found that out all by myself, no help from that one." Harold interjected, motioning to his brother." Tracked her while she worked I did. But ya kno'... Didn't exactly force myself into the rooms or nuthing. Prolly shoulda I guess, woulda saved the kid an arse whoop-"
"Anyways," Howard interrupted back. "My point is Basil comes from a long line of people who carry the 'too much' gene. He literally doesn't know when to stop. With anything. Especially if what he is doing could help someone he cares about.
Based on what we have to go on, I believe what happened between them is that Mia knew that because she grew up with him. They literally lived under the same roof since he was a boy. And with her ever so slight advantage on him as a teensy bit older person, she exploited his lack of self control to her benefit.
If I'm reading the tea leaves, I would say as long as you avoid repeating that all over again, you can't be any worse than her in terms of using him."
