Quoted By:
You make another beer run for a sixer at the liquor store next to Jane Red's Sheds and Beds (Formerly Holly Kit's) and say fuck it, road beers! Who's gonna pull you over, Velton PD? You ARE Velton PD!!! Hyehehehehe!
Doing donuts on the stored warmth of the asphalt in the Southern heat of America's Sun Belt, you decide it would be nice to pull over to the crick and kill the remainder of this six pack while the frogs and mosquitos sing and dance for you amongst the freshness of the running water.
In the fog of the fun:
"Hey Skeletor? Er, you don't mind if I call you-"
Amused, smiling: "I don't care anymore, Fatso. Haha-," You both break out laughing. "What were you gonna ask me?"
You both dry your speech and mannerisms as the silence ages.
"Why are helping me out with Don? You know I did... Things... With Ena..."
This is by far the most intelligent line of questioning you've ever seen from Senior Detective Jimmy Waters, even if it is just in the interest of his own hide.
Outwardly appearing drunken, but with the secretly ever-sharp edge of your mind, inwardly sober; you "come clean" to Jimmy:
Sip a beer and pick one of these:
>Partially reveal some of your secrets or proclivities to Jimmy, but nothing about Mandie. (Optional: Tell him what? Lie?)
>Don't tell him everything, but mention that you think it would be fun to tag-team a broad together sometime. (Optional: Which one?)
>Obscure your true identity. You're wholly innocent, just helping a guy that you think made a mistake.
>Reveal that you are the Craigslist Killer, tell him about Mandie. Invite him over to check her out. (Optional: Ambush?)
>Write in - ???
Then pick one of these:
>And you want to be "equal partners" with Jimmy
>And you will take the lead as Jimmy's superior and leader
>And you will act as Jimmy's "underling/helper/advisor"
>And make a deal that you will be silent partners, and the ace up each other's sleeves if needed.
>And make a pact that neither of you will ever commit "evil" again.
>And make a date to watch the next game at Chippie's, this time double-or-nothing AND loser picks up the tab.
>Write in - ???
This, of course, is all merely part of your master plan. The master plan which may or may not include multiple accomplices. Maybe you should've thought about this harder before jumping in headlong. Meh, oh well. You can think on the fly.
After the talk, you ask if Jimmy's good to drive, he says he is, and takes you home.
You wave Jimmy goodnight, then triple-lock and triple-latch your reinforced front door.
