Danny loves Arden. Arden loves Ward. Arden loves Danny half-baked. Arden works for Carlos. Arden spies on Ward. Part-time spy/full-time lover/long-distance wife.

Wayne got it: Danny was weak. Arden was strong. Arden hooked him on the Life. It all pertained to Teamster shit--embezzlement and flight.
