A PEACE OFFERING

Frank laughed at the jibe. 

"One eye is enough. It levels the playing field." He responded with a comfortable carelessness. 

"If I remember right, that is not the eye I poked out. Do you have an obsessive-compulsive disorder on which eye should be missing?" Hu Lei asked. 

Frank felt a little defeated. Still, he responded to the small woman while pointing at the eye patch.

"This is a very recent development. The scum of IHA cost me an eye. So, I came to take care of them and maybe, earn another good eye." His smile was wide. 

"It must be nice having spares." Hu Lei said with mocking. 

"If you want, I can poke out one of yours and get you an upgrade." Frank looked at Hu Lei as if he hoped that she would agree. 

"Thank you. But I am sure that my own eyes will always be superior." Hu Lei rolled her eyes. 

"Your loss. Shall we walk out together?" He asked.
