Rico nods seriously, filing the information away. He has quite a few 'sexy' bits in his life, perhaps more literal than Beeny intended. Since it looks like there's not much he can do about it, he'd better just figure out a way to deal with it somehow, either before then or as it comes. Maybe he could rely on the higher ups here to keep her off his back for now and slip away in the aftermath, but he'd better start proving to them how useful he could be, fast.

He wonders idly if they'll make action figures of him. Or if there are action figures of Beeny floating around. Daystick included, perfect for beating up suspects in custody! Rico mentally waves the thought away. Not important right now.

"I'll defer to your judgement, ma'am," he drawls, inclining his head. He could practically hear the capitalization in that sentence. Figures. "Even if I may have some... personal objections. I'll be your backup when it comes to that."

If only to shoot her in the back.

Still, she seems to be awfully lenient. Joe wouldn't have had any of it at all. Forget the end of the multiverse - he'd probably get in here and start cracking heads.

"Has the Justice Department become more... flexible, since my time?" he asks, careful to coach it like a casual joke, rather than something that he could have opinions on one way or another.
