“Nothing saying she’ll tell the truth,” Alec said.
Of course. Lisa might be able to help with detecting lies, though.
“And she’s in a position to say stuff that could create doubt or tension in our ranks,” Trickster pointed out.
“True,” Lisa conceded. “But here’s the thing. I’m getting the vibe she wants us to turn her down, so we’ll figure out the real scoop later and regret it.”
Hah! “I could’ve told you so!”
“What, you mean something like Siberian being here? ‘Don’t you wish you’d asked me to tell you where she was, because she’s standing fifteen feet away from you’?” Alec asked. “Yeah, that sounds like my sister.”
Pffft.
“How sure are you?” Brian asked Lisa.
“That there’s more to it? Seventy five percent, to ballpark it.”
Worth a shot, I think.
“Bad idea,” Brian said. I found myself nodding in agreement.
And now these two are on the same page in much the same way they used to be before Extermination. Nice. 🙂
Lisa raised the phone to her ear. “Nope. Don’t suppose we can change your mind?”
Oh, is she talking directly to Cherish?
There was a pause before Lisa hung up. “Eighty-five percent sure there’s more to this story than she’s letting on. She was all too okay with saying goodbye for someone chained up in a hot metal prison cell. That, or she thinks we’re going to call back.”
Cherish might be right about that last thing, the way this seems to be going.
Sundancer spoke up, “Can’t we? What are we really risking, here? I mean, what’s at stake? The worst case scenario, if we let her talk?”
The worst case scenario is that she tattletales you, and you’ve got the actual Tattletale with you…
