Celebrating sounds good right now… hell, it sounds <span class="mu-i">fantastic</span>, but as your mouth starts to form the first syllable of the word ‘<span class="mu-i">aight</span>’, you find your voice catching in your throat… actually, you reply after clearing your throat, you have something to tell Mina first… is she around?
“<span class="mu-i">Yep,</span>” Replies Cammy with growing derision, well <span class="mu-i">MORE</span> derision than usual, in her voice, “<span class="mu-i">After everything that’s been revealed she’s not leaving ANYONE’S sights until the cops take her away…</span>”
Wait, you stammer as confusion spreads into your speech, what’s <span class="mu-i">that</span> supposed to mean!?
Cammy’s voice grows cold. “<span class="mu-i">I’d let her tell you herself, but you deserve to hear it from an outside source: Back when Hank went up the mountain she ordered her Secretary to ice him… guess he was lucky that Smythe’s people showed up when they did.</span>”
But that was her <span class="mu-i">dad</span>, you counter loud enough to get the attention of your fellow golfers, she was being manipula-
“<span class="mu-i">I know, alright!?</span>” Cammy spits! “<span class="mu-i">Just… look, she was the one who confessed to it, but… forget it, just talk to her already. Sorry for keeping you in the loop…</span>”
Before you can answer further, you hear the sound of the <span class="mu-s">EARPIECE</span> being handed off… or <span class="mu-i">tossed</span>, rather… to another party. After a few moments of shuffling, a familiar composed voice reaches your ear.
“<span class="mu-i">Diesel,</span>” Mina begins in a half-smiling voice, “<span class="mu-i">I’m afraid I don’t have any more information to provide on Rivka-</span>”
Wow, you remark, struggling to avoid focusing on Cammy’s revelation, that’s the second joke you’ve heard her tell! Didn’t know she had such a good sense of humor!
“<span class="mu-i">Wait until you hear me play the piano…</span>” She adds with a hint of a giggle in her voice, “<span class="mu-i">I suppose I’ll have need of my other talents once we return to the mainland–you’ve already heard the news from Camille, I take it?</span>”
Y-yea, you mutter, but-
“<span class="mu-i">It’s fine, Diesel–I’m not being held in a cage or anything…</span>” Mina explains in a placating tone, “<span class="mu-i">But I suspect my brother and I will have much to answer for once the police arrive. And Hauser, well…</span>” She pauses as if looking for the proper words, “<span class="mu-i">... Hauser Pharmaceuticals is finished.</span>”
Just relax, okay? You’ve got evidence–evidence that’ll place the blame on her dad… on Rivka-
“<span class="mu-i">Which will help greatly, and I thank you,</span>” Mina interrupts, her calm tone a foil to yours, “<span class="mu-i">But I think you should be the first to know, Diesel: I’ve decided that it's best for the company to crumble. Darren and I both share an interest in distancing ourselves from our family name–there are far too many ghosts attached to it now.</span>”
