Because she told me.

Who, Indie? Who told you to kill the bad people?

…

We’re there now, sweetie. You’re already there. One more word and we’re done here. OK? Just tell me who it was.

Angelica.

Who?

You know. That little Company girl that Nick Tate came and… abducted back when I was fifteen.

You’re… sure? It was Angelica?

Yes. Why?

Because Angelica lives very far away from here, Indie. Like… on the other side of the fuckin’ planet somewhere. No one even knows where that girl lives. Maybe three people in the whole world, tops. And none of them live in this house.

So? I did jobs in lots of faraway places. And no one knows where I live either. Except you guys.

Indie… Angelica is retired.

Well… I think that would be news to her.

So you’re telling me that Angelica Fenici is working? That she came to you and gave you a job? And that’s where you’ve been for the past two weeks? With Angelica?

Yup. Can I go take a bath with Mags now?

…

Donovan?

What?

Are we done? Can I go take a bubble bath now?

Sure, Indie. Yes. I think that sounds like a good idea. Send Adam in, will you?

ADAM!!!! DONOVAN WANTS TO TALK TO YOU!

I could’ve done that.

Good night, Donovan.

Good night, Indie.

…

ADAM: What’s up? What did she say?

She’s lost her fuckin’ mind. At least… that’s the best-case scenario here. Because if what she just told me is true, then we have a very big problem.

I don’t think I can do this anymore. I know I’ve said it before, but this time I mean it. I can’t go through this again.
