MASK OR MENACE IC CONTACT

"Hey, it's Kate. Leave a message."

I don't have the same freedom. I'm unsettled here, and even though I work as a detective, it's still private work.

We might have to stick with breaking in.

... All right. What do you propose? You are ... probably much more familiar with the security measures of this world than I am.

I'll see what I can do about getting in there tonight, and if that fails, I'll bring in a third party. She's older, more experienced than both of us. She'll be able to help in that arena.

... Good. I'll trust your judgement on this one, since it's more your department than mine. ... Let's me know if there's anything you will need assistance with.

Will do. If I get into trouble, I'll make sure to call my lawyer myself. You won't be implicated.

... You're very prepared. Good. I'll leave this in your capable hands.

He's very prepared, is more like it.

I should hope so. Nobody wants an unprepared lawyer.

[Was that a note of humour in his voice? Yes? No? Maybe? Who knows. It's hard to tell.]

He also wouldn't be surprised about this.

You have a good rapport with this man, then, I take it.

Well, he's my boss.

... I... I see. How convenient.

Perhaps "vested interest" would be more appropriate...

I lucked out. He's pretty damn good at what he does.

But I'm not planning on getting arrested.

No. ... Nobody ever does, in my experience.

Anyway, I'll get back to you.

... I look forward to it.
