>>5168618Speaking of, you continue with a grim look on your face, how exactly is <span class="mu-i">SHE</span> exempt from suspicion anyways? You didn't exactly see that <span class="mu-g">SECURITY FOOTAGE</span> that guard mentioned!
"<span class="mu-i">W-w-we can go back and ask!</span>" Denise squeaks with a nervous grin on her face! "<span class="mu-i">I've g-got nothing to hide, Stanley--e-except for th-those chemicals, b-but you saw how that went! H-haha! OOPS!</span>"
You'll keep that in mind, you growl before taking another handful of <span class="mu-g">JAM</span> from the jar. What about her motives, though? She's, like, one day away from going postal… EVERY DAY. AND she was in cahoots with <span class="mu-r">TIM</span> when you found her!
"<span class="mu-i">Th-that w-was out of s-self-preservation!</span>" Denise sputters! "<span class="mu-i">Y-you s-saw wh-what they did to my c-colleagues! I'd b-be a m-mutant too i-if I didn't play along!</span>"
"Very convenient dat' she's da' only survivin' member, huh?" Ly remarks, causing your brow to furrow even more! Yea, you reply, it <span class="mu-i">IS</span> convenient!
"<span class="mu-i">B-b-B-but I helped you, r-right?!</span>" Denise asks in an increasingly-shaky voice! "<span class="mu-i">T-Talbie b-became an ally b-because of me, a-and I even h-helped you f-foil GENERAL HAWKES' p-plans...</span>"
Sure, you shrug, but she was also in <span class="mu-r">CLOBBERING RANGE.</span> Wouldn't be very smart of her if she didn't cooperate, right?
"<span class="mu-i">Th-then I c-could have commanded T-Talbot t-to eliminate y-you all wh-when we were escaping the l-lab!</span>" The scientist counters! "<span class="mu-i">O-or r-ran off w-with the v-van wh-when you lent it to me! Th-think about it!</span>"
Sure, you sigh, but she was sharing the van with <span class="mu-b">KIKI,</span> and you've seen how vicious that girl can be, both with <span class="mu-i">AND</span> without a gun!
"<span class="mu-i">T-true...</span>" Denise nods in a defeated tone. "<span class="mu-i">I d-don't know what to s-say, Stanley... Th-the Lich n-never mentioned anything a-about t-traitors i-in those meetings of his... I kn-know it w-was foolish t-to work for th-the skeletons, b-but, well...</span>"
You return Stanley to your shoulder and plant your hands on your hips expectantly. <span class="mu-i">Well?</span>
"<span class="mu-i">N-not all of us a-are fighters l-like you...</span>" She whimpers. "<span class="mu-i">I d-don't know wh-who these TRAITORS are, b-but I c-can help you catch them... I o-owe you all th-that much...</span>"
Hold up, you growl, raising your hand for her to stop, what the heck does she mean by <span class="mu-r">TRAITOR"S"?</span> Gotcha!
