[Nate sucks in a breath through grit teeth, tongue in cheek. It's one thing to extol the "virtues" of one of his best friends, but it's another thing to share the circumstances behind their friendship. Sully is basically family.
But Peter knows enough now that it probably won't shock him.]
Me and my brother were, uh, living in Colombia at the time, I think Sam was actually serving a couple days in the local jail while I was trying to burgle a museum.
[Okay, so...not a great start.]
Turns out Sully was hired by these nutjobs to lift the same thing I was trying to. Ran into each other when I stole his wallet and when I went back to the museum that night, he was there with his employers. They were not happy I'd taken what they wanted. You'd think secret service-looking guys wouldn't be so spry, but they chased me across half the city's rooftops and I was this close to getting killed when he stepped in.
[Nate lifts his shoulders in a vague shrug.]
He taught me a lot after that, which was good, 'cause my technique was still pretty sloppy then.
