Natalie's plan threatens not his job - he can stay in Omaha, Neb., and make the kill calls - but his way of life. No more first-class treatment; no familiar salutations from hotel clerks and flight attendants who are his equivalent of friends; no more great sex with Alex. Just chained to a desk in, really, Omaha...
