"No way, Chief Carter, you're asking me to break into the home of the Executive Deputy Mayor? I don't want to get myself killed. I can do the job, but the risk is too high. I want more money."
"How much more?"
Dirk Carter asked.
Elbert pondered for a moment and said, "You've been a loyal client, so I won't rip you off. Let's add twenty thousand."
"Alright, that's fine, deal!"
Dirk Carter said without a second thought.
Elbert was taken aback and said, "No, no, that's not right. Last time I asked for more money, you refused. Why are you agreeing to a random figure this time?"
"This woman is different."
Dirk Carter said.
Elbert muttered in frustration, "Damn, I should have asked for more…"

Dirk Carter mobilized all his resources.
