Rumor has it, these days you're wearing a different suit. Didn't take me long to figure it out once you left. Man like you who forgets the time. I hope this one's tailored to your liking.
You've been good to them. To me. We're going on a little vacation across the desert. See the sun for once. But something tells me you'll be here while we're off on holiday. Who your date will be, I suppose, is anyone's guess. However, I know where I'd place my cenz.
Ah, but prying eyes be wary. It has been some time since I've spoken to this gentleman of yesterday. If you know him, pass along my regards. Troublesome as the devil is, if you have his eye, best not to take it lightly. Watch out for him, and be there where he'll let you. He will always return the favor.
And if this is you, dear, well. Do feel free to pay me a visit where the sun sits on its golden throne.

I, Greed the Avaricious, sign this as an equivalent exchange made with (1), Silco (the Eye of Fucking Zaun) on the month of July in the shithole formally known as Manhattan. This exchange hereby grants The Eye ownership of half of the operations of "The Devil's Nest", once known as "Paradise Lost".
50% of operations and decisions are to be split unto him until a date of his choosing, of which this contract can be considered either nullified or amended.
This exchange includes the clause granting half of myself (Greed the Avaricious, of Dublith, Amestris) in return for half of himself (Silco, Eye of Zaun, of, well, Zaun) with terms and agreements to be set forth verbally within the confines of a daemon deal. Both parties may, upon any fucking time, nullify said deal at their discretion.
Further, should both parties become indisposed, control of "The Devil's Nest" falls onto (1) Jinx (Bluebird, of Zaun) and (1) Johnny (Silver) Silverhand of Night City to be used as they see fit.

We'll watch you, always you
Him, with his hands, rough as they are
Always had us, that sort of "we"
So, take a load off
Crow
We won't always get it right
But do me the favor
She, the firestorm
Him, sharp as a tack
Suppose you could call it the word
We'll watch you
Even if we don't get it right
