((fun times for Lana continued))

[desperadojake]

I'm listenin'.

[yesterdayskye]

I... I haven't heard from Ema since right after my arrest. I don't know where she is right now.

Make sure she doesn't come here, or to my trial; this has nothing to do with her.

[desperadojake]

You have my word -- if you tell me what happened to Neil.

[yesterdayskye]

...............

No. I can't.

[desperadojake]

Don't take it to your grave, bambina. Please.

Darke... Darke killed your brother, two years ago. That's all. That's it.

*losing all composure in that moment*

Goddamnit! *stands up and slams his hand down on the table*

You know what happened to Neil! Even at death's door, you're covering it up... And all for what?!

Goodman found somethin', didn't he? He knew too much so you killed him!

*staggers up as well*

Th-that's not true! It isn't!

I didn't kill Detective Goodman, Jake. I didn't. Please--please believe me.

4/4

[yesterdayskye]

But I can't talk to you about it, or about SL-9--especially not that.

I'm... afraid...

[w8d]

*the door on the visitor's side of the room, behind Jake, bursts open with a thud and the Chief of Police storms through, uncharacteristically humorless*

Get out.

[desperadojake]

*recognizing fear in Lana's eyes, his anger dissipates -- and turns to surprise when Gant comes thundering in. A cold chill runs down his spine and his heart stops for a moment when he sees that look on the man's face*

*dumbstruck* ...Chief?

[w8d]

*strides up to the cowboy, getting right in the other man's space. He makes a sharp gesture to the door*

Out, I said!
