Across Universes

"I can understand why she's not a fan of you, then. Even though you didn't actually do it, but... Hmm, how can we prove the truth, though?"

Beat: No eyewitnesses, so its only our word pretty much. And let's face it, would you buy an account from pirates?

(Ajay takes Norma home before returning to the hotel with the pirates)

Beat: He's back.

Ajay: Awww, you say that like that's a bad thing.

"...Yep. Welcome back, AJ. How did it go?"

Beat: Yes what info were you able to get out of her?

Of course he was able to notice the displeasure in her voice. With those ears.

"Oh, we were just busy with an important conversation, that's all." His voice was mixed with annoyance and sincerity.

Ajay: Well I'll have you know that even though she's been following you for three years, that she was just reassigned to a different case, some "mysterious renegade"...

Beat: A mysterious Renegade? So she didn't want to tell you the details?

Well that was a relief. Maybe she could finally steal something without Norma hurling canonballs at her.

Ajay: Can't press her too hard. Don't want her getting suspicious too early...anyways, just wanted to refresh you on that. I'm going to sleep. *enters a room he gets for himself*

"...Shall we find somewhere else to continue our conversation, Miss Grace?"

Beat: I guess... But I'm going to listen to make sure he's asleep.

Ajay: Oh, hello, didn't expect you to be coming in to check on me.

Beat: Great now I just look like a paranoid nutjob.

Beat: Well I wanted to make sure.. You weren't disturbing Hilarity! I mean he's a light sleeper.

He's not going to buy that.

Good save, Captain. "I think I'll head down to the Tavern." 'Nix started to leave.

Ajay: Ah, of course. But you don't need to hide from me the truth. I know you can't trust me very much, like how I'm not sure how much I can trust you OR this lieutenant. It's something you have to build, right?

She stood in front of him. Silently mouthing.

Don't leave me with him.

Beat: I guess. But overall you're a traitor. And I don't take kindly to traitors.

'Nix silently spoke as well. This guy is giving me a headache and I need a drink... You could just come with me instead?

Ajay: A traitor? I do not see how I would be a traitor...have I betrayed you to anyone?

Beat: I can't be sure. But if you're not a traitor to us you're a traitor to your miliatary. I know what its like to have someone you thought cared about you throw you out. I don't really think anyone deserves that.

She's talking about the nuns. She hasn't figured out for sure if either of the Moles.

Ajay: Ah, I see the logic there. *takes out violin* Well, feel free to keep an eye on me if you wish. I'll just play a few tunes before I go down for the night. *starts practicing some haunting refrains*

NOW I'm going to go to bed.

Beat: I'm surprised at how well he took that 'Nix. I think I want a drink too.

"Perhaps he was too tired to try and interpret it? Yes, sounds good." Well, that makes it harder to sneak away, but we didn't do much yet... 'Nix opened the hotel entrance door for Beat. "After you."

Beat: Thank you. Maybe I was blunt... But its a really sensitive issue to me.

She walked into the balmy San Jorge air.
