[ 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."

You're right. They are liabilities. And you're right again, you cut your losses. You protect the many, not the few. That's only mathematics.
So if offing them would solve our problems, know that I would be with you, Hafid.
But right now, I think there are others who will reach them first, and that we should let them.

[ MS, to an extent, and the people who held them in the first place. why not let the murderers be bait, so they can see how far both organisations will go for them? ]

She comes on here saying she doesn't know what to do, she shouldn't be surprised when someone gives a practical answer.
If it compromises the whole thing then it's on her. Her life's work up in smoke, not mine.
If they get reclaimed by the people who brought us here then they'll probably wish they were dead anyway.

private forever.

[ it's a touch more obvious then that he's upset — by gaby's actions or something bigger. hafid tends to be brusque and clear over text.

not like this. ]

All valid points. Our position is a vulnerable one, and it's only fair that we defend it.
Are you open to further discussion offline? I'm not confident that these private filters are doing what they say on the tin.

[ i.e. he wonders if el and gaby can see through them, anyway — but also this is a ploy to level with damian, one on one.

he thinks they understand each other, in some small way. ]

On my way.
Nearest subway stop on my line's the one by the river. I'll meet you there.
