"I need Angelina. You shouldn't do anything to her."
Stephen slips into the room behind them.

"Are you sure?"

"I don't want to hurt anyone.. He said it wouldn't hurt her.. "
--
"Yes. I think so. I would give you a kiss, but I don't know if it would hurt you."

"People who say that are usually lying."
Stephen wrinkles his nose. "Who sent you exactly?"
---
"Why would that hurt me?"

"M-mister.. Lank. He is our boss. N-nathaniel told me.. but.. I couldn't find him.."
--
"I might be contagious.. or poisoned or something."

"I could find him."
Stephen shakes his head. "Wait, how did you find Angie?"
---
This makes him give a big ole frown. "You said you were fine."

He is having a hard time making words, and their staring makes him start weeping again. "I thought.. I was all alone.."
--
"No what?"

"That's no excuse to hurt Angelina."
"Wait. You're making no sense. Why could you suddenly find her after you went to Mister Lank?"
---
"I'm not going to sit around and do nothing."

List looks at Stephen, then hangs his head. ".. He knew."
--
"But Richard.. what can you do? Edan will find out what happened and what I should do."

"I'm not sure."

"What exactly did you do?"
Edan makes grumpy faces at Stephen.

"Damn it." Richard stands and heads to the door.

"I.. It was.. I don't know what it is." He sniffles and pulls an empty little syringe from a breast pocket.
--
"Richard?" She blinks and watches him go.

Edan snatches the syringe and squints at it.
"You don't know what he wants with Angie?"
Richard storms into the room.
