[ this was supposed to be one of Gaby's days off. in fact, she's not in the safehouse when the message comes in. ]
Turns out that we're missing two new faces around the safehouse.
I'd play a guessing game as to why I wasn't told, but I don't care. These two faces apparently murdered two people that night.
I don't know who they are, but I do know that they're locked up. Any guesses as to what's going to happen to them?
Genuine question. Because I don't know.
Oh, and because some of you think you can do whatever the hell you want around here: don't think the way out for them is a jail break. Don't even fucking try it. And no, Morningstar isn't in the business of breaking people out of jail, because that would be stupid.
[ she's a little angry. no. a lot. but mostly she doesn't know how to handle this one. ]
Look. You know something? Tell me. You won't be "in trouble."

If it's personal, I can keep a secret. But I'm not going to put your privacy above ensuring we're not about to find ourselves in the sort of spotlight we can't risk. Or at least not without prior warning.
private.
I don't need you to read the pulse of the detective on the case because I'm already on it. I don't get myself involved in what she does, but as you can understand, this wasn't a situation where I could be idle. Since you didn't seem keen to make any assumptions, now you can.
Whatever happens, no one is going into that precinct and putting her in danger.
I generally keep a cool head. But the suggestions made today will not happen. I won't let them happen.
Understood?
private.
well. ]
Understood.
This is a lot of plates to spin on your own.
private.
Except when the cause is a bunch of murder happy jackasses who think they know better than you.
private.
Keep me updated. I don't mean that as an entitled outsider, I mean that as someone who doesn't want to murder anybody and understands the stakes of making sure nobody else tries.
private.
I'll call anyone to arms who can keep the others in check. You have my word.
private.
I assume there are plans to move the safehouse? How long do you think it'll take to get that moving?
private.
private.
When all this is rounded up and you've got a second to breathe, I'll be in need of the Morningstar sign-up sheet.
[ if this mess shows him nothing else, it's that there's no more time to waste on being skeptical. they're living on borrowed everything, and when disaster strikes it doesn't come with a warning.]
private.
I'll pass on the word.
private.
Though if it means I have to start calling you boss, I'm out.
private.
private.
[ who would honestly ]
private.
You sure about that?
private.
[ he says, accidentally starting a fight with a newbie in the name of peace and about to say what follows: ]
And be careful. You're coming off a little strong in places.
[ eyeballing that response to keith, mostly. ]
private.
This was supposed to be my day off.
private.
And instead you're shepherding angry children who want to kill people in the name of subtlety and silence. Your job must feel so rewarding.
private.
Emphasis on preferring the children.
private.
I quit.
[ HE'S NOT EVEN EMPLOYED AND HE'S TIRED.
take your job back this is entirely too much ]
