"I’m kind of living back behind a liquor store, behind a dumpster, and have made myself a nice little place."
He added,
"Deacon and Finn stumble upon me just by chance in the alley and they asked me a couple of questions. They help me out and I help them out. And they go on their way doing their thing and I go my way and what happens is mysterious and yet it’s cool. Pivotal. Because I end up helping them."
