Maverick: You went to him?
Alessa: Not him personally. He has a, I suppose you’d call it a network? They have small offices in big cities, even. It’s all legitimate. Until you get involved and realize what it is.
Lodestar: He’s her father, Alessa.
Alessa: They say he’s a Romanov.
Maverick: Highly unlikely. No matter what Disney says on the matter. O.o
Lodestar: Conor’s sure he’s a front. So, hell, maybe he IS a Romanov.
Lodestar: And if you’re not holding her hand, Maverick, I’ll shoot you myself.
Maverick: She’s sitting on my knee.
Alessa: I’m okay, Star. Really. I have to be.
Alessa: My sister’s father is the man who sold me into slavery.
Alessa: It’s not Kati’s fault. It doesn’t change how much I love her.
Lodestar: I know. I wish I had better news.
Alessa: What is a front? Like a door?
Lodestar: No, it’s a name someone uses to hide their real identity.
Alessa: Like Maverick?
Lodestar: Sort of.
Alessa: You think he operated under Belyaev but his name was different?
Lodestar: No, Conor does.
Lodestar: I don’t care lol. We have bigger fish to fry right now.
Maverick: Who killed him?
Lodestar: Remember I told you about Jorgmundgander?
Maverick: I do. They handled him?
Lodestar: Yeah. It was a power grab by the highest of the high in the Sparrows.
Maverick: You sure you dealt with them? You don’t need help?
Lodestar: Lol. I didn’t need help. I was working with Troy and Dead To Me.
Maverick: TROY? She’s still alive? Fuck me. I didn’t think she’d make it when she was so fucking paranoid.
Lodestar: Still alive and kicking. Rocking an eye patch.
Maverick: Bet it suits her.
Lodestar: It does actually lol. She’s as terrifying as ever.
Maverick: I’ll bet. How’s Cin?
