    Summary

    A few weeks after starting the Nice Guys agency March gets drunk, Healy gets a strange inkling, and Holly watches The Parent Trap.

     

    Not for the first time, Jackson wonders why he agreed to this partnership. But there’s something he can’t quite put his finger on, something about the soft, hapless, helpless way March loves his daughter and knows what a screwup he is, that makes something funny happen inside Jackson’s chest. He hasn’t eaten yet today but it feels almost like his stomach is twisting, like he’s about to do something stupid and completely out of his own control even though Jackson Healy has always prided himself on how well he keeps himself under control.

     

    Not food poisoning, Jackson thinks. March poisoning.

    This is basically a short, slightly canon-divergent coda to one of the final scenes of the movie.

    Summary

    “You drawing a picture of me?” Dan said, sounding more clearly surprised than he had meant to, lingering sleep making it harder for him to pull back up the walls he had lowered last night. Wade sighed.

    “Yes, Dan Evans, I’m drawing a picture of you.”

    ---

    Dan Evans and Ben Wade, one night five years after Contention.
