The two become friends and start an underground business selling the gold fillings Harvey has gathered from corpses' teeth over the years. Jon also meets Traci Walton, a bartender, and the two begin dating; Jon moves in with her. Jon lost his family in a tragedy when he was a child, and Harvey keeps much of his own history to himself.
