Nathan Never Gigante #14 (2011) pages 204-205: Time for the boss fight

“I'm glad to hear you say that, Nathan.”

“It's not just up to me to decide. I will have to gather my people and explain the situation. Then we'll see.”

“That makes sense; I understand.”

“I promise, Carolyn. Take care of yourself.”
