Am I supposed to feel bad for him, Jesse? Whoever he is? I thought one of my sisters had been killed. Whoever made those bodies dumped them like rubbish and let us think the worst.

[hostage]

I'm not asking you to feel bad for him. He's a fucking idiot. I'm just telling you he wasn't actually trying to hurt you guys. I'm telling you this stuff so you can stop worrying about it, you know?

[coppelganger]

Noted. Thanks.

[hostage]

Yeah. Okay. You need anything?

[coppelganger]

Just a name.

[hostage]

I don't roll on my people, Sarah. You wouldn't like working for me if I did.

[coppelganger]

So you'll tell me you know who it is, but you won't tell me his name.

[coppelganger]

[ Her eye roll is practically audible. ]

Jesus Christ.

[hostage]

He's one of mine. I'm handling it. That's all you need to know. I'd protect you the same way if something ever happened, you know that.

[magnitudes]

I find "God" is less of a mouthful, but I'll answer to both.

[coppelganger]

Bye, Sarissa.

[magnitudes]

Go in peace, my child.

[coppelganger]

You know I'm going to find out, Jesse.

[hostage]

And then what?

[coppelganger]

I don't know yet.

[hostage]

Revenge, right? Get back at him for scaring you. You wanna hurt him? I mean, you know what happens if you do, right? I heal him, and then it's just me you're hurting. So what's that do for any of us?

[coppelganger]

Nobody fucks with my family, Jesse. I don't care if it was accidental. Whoever it was should've grown some balls and come to me about it instead of hiding behind you.

[hostage]

Those things weren't your family. They're dolls.

Look, I told you: He's mine. And I'm not gonna let you hurt one of my boys over a mistake. Don't make this ugly, Sarah.

[coppelganger]

I'm making this ugly. [ She laughs. ] Fine, Jesse. Thanks for all your help.

[hostage]

You're fucking welcome. Don't mess with me. I mean that.

text. one day i will stop spamming you

[magnitudes]

Call me ASAP.

voice;

[coppelganger]

[ Sarah knows an emergency when she sees one. She calls Sarissa as soon as she gets the text. ]

What's going on? You okay?

permavoice.

[magnitudes]

I'm fine.

( it's a different Sarissa voice than usual. this is calm Sarissa, take apart a bomb in three minutes Sarissa. thing is, bombs are a little easier to get her head around than people. )

I got a text. It came from a guy knew about us. I played dumb for a while, but he knew - claims he wants to help. I think Rachel must've been running her mouth.

[coppelganger]

[ Sarah's stomach drops. Fuck. They waited too long. ]

Shit.

[magnitudes]

Don't worry. I'm pinning down exactly who he found out from, who else knows. Soon as I know, you'll know. I asked him for proof he wants to help, and not... do anything else. Should I tell him he has to talk to you?

( Was that the sound of a gun being loaded and doing that fancy gun clicky loady sound? Yes. Yes it might have been. )

And then I'm going to go visit Rachel, if you're okay with that.
