So, yeah.

...Can a brother get a lawyer or something? Do I get bail?

I am way too pretty to rot in here forever!

Generally I provide my employees with a lawyer when in need. Bail on occasion.

How much money did you steal from me, Hardison? JARVIS is looking in on it but as my father used to say this will go much better for you if you tell me rather than me having to find out.

[ageoftheg33k]

I didn't steal from you, man. Look, I did steal from people but-- I researched into it, I found unsavory types and people who didn't deserve it.

...And okay, you kind of fit that profile but I'm not that dumb. I swear, man. I was hacked a few weeks before the cops caught onto me, and the evidence they're talking about is just-- a third of it isn't my doing. I swear.

[idmakeitaweek]

I can understand that morality code. It's not that far off what I do at home with the suit.

Alright then. I'll post bail for you but JARVIS is going to scour every inch of your systems and if I find anything I'll personally put you back in the cell.

[ageoftheg33k]

Oh, man, I knew you would. [He didn't.] It's just-- back home my team used to do it as a unit, and something happened to me here and I confessed everything and it's just not the same.

You will find something; there's code in there that's not mine and I've been trying to trace it for weeks, but it's way too advanced. There are only a few things in the City that could have done it. Maybe JARVIS can figure it out?

How pretty?

[ageoftheg33k]

Seriously? Do you see this jumpsuit that I'm rocking? All the other jumpsuits are definitely jealous.

[perspectiveguy]

[Laughter on this end.] So, how is it in there?

[ageoftheg33k]

Terrible. The food is woeful; can't get me any orange soda and my bed is a bench with a blanket on it.

[a_bad_guy]

You ready to quit feelin' sorry for what you did and let me break you out now?

[Voice]

[ageoftheg33k]

You realize that if I say yes right now whoever's on duty in their tech department's just going to flag it and probably shove me in high security isolation or something, right?

I mean, you get that, right?

[Voice]

[a_bad_guy]

Yeah well I tried covert and you wouldn't give me anything to work with. And now Parker's pissin' me off and you have to get out here and make her stop bein'... her. I'm done bein' covert.

[Voice]

[ageoftheg33k]

Eliot, I dunno if you got this? But I. Can't. Lie. Or-- even try to get around the truth. At all.

They cursed me, dude. This is serious! Ain't like I can't weasel my way out of an interrogation. Just, up and cursed in the middle of it, spewed out the damn truth!

I'm actually considering breaking you out but dealing with the people with powers in the police is something that I haven't quite figured out yet.

[ageoftheg33k]

That's the nicest thing you could say, Little Dude.

[child_radical]

I was being serious. Do you know if anyone in there could be weak to high voltage electricity or garbage?

[ageoftheg33k]

No. No, no. Not you too. Eliot and Parker are already all over it and you don't need to encourage them.

You wanna be my lawyer, I'm down for that. But ain't no way I'm letting you devise a scheme to break me out. [Even if it does warm the cockles of his heart.]

[sword_boy]

...What did you do Hardison?

...and you can't rot in there. The Network would show you way too often to torture the rest of us.

[ageoftheg33k]

I stole money. Lots of it.

Not when I get limited network access. I'll be a pile of bones before they let me know my bail.
