[Various locks - Audio except for to Faith]

[demonologist]

[Filtered to Hellsing Admin.]I apologise for not contacting you sooner, I've only just been given my comm device back. I was arrested yesterday, which is why I have been unable to come to work today. It's with regard to the incident at the prison. They haven't told me the court date yet, but once I know I will update you

You shouldn't be in jail, not with everything that's goin' down. I can get you out.

[video - Locked]

[demonologist]

I know you can. But that's not the point, Faith. I don't want you committing crimes on my behalf. That's how I got in this predicament in the first place and I don't want you to end up here as well.

[gotmadskills]

So what, you sit around in jail while the rest of the city goes to hell? While Angel has a one-vamp party tearin' through everyone and everything? And for how long? They took their sweet time gettin' you in there, is there gonna be anything but a smokin' crater left of the city when you get out?!

Buffy is going to try to speak to Chief Givens on my behalf. We're going to attempt going through official channels first.

Hopefully they'll allow me visitors soon and we can organise another plan of attack.

Until then, stand down, Faith. That's an order.

[His tone is harsher than he intends, but he doesn't want Faith to also get into trouble with the law while Angelus is still out on the loose.]

[Could people who are important for the whole 'things not going to shit' effort please stop getting incapacitated? Kthx.]

Do you require additional security, or just someone to check that yours is still in place? And is there anything non-incriminating that you'd like me to move to a more secure location until you come back?

This arrest... is it justified, or do you need assistance getting yourself released pending the clearing of your name?

[Cause Uhura's got some pull - then again, Wes is not exactly the most squeaky clean individual.]

I have weapons in there, for personal use, but nothing overly incriminating. I just have books and so on which have taken time to acquire. I would rather my belongings not be 'borrowed'.

The arrest is justified. It hasn't come as a surprise. I'm willing to face the consequences of my actions, it's just terrible timing that's all. I have arranged for some representation, but thank you for your enquiry, Uhura.

I received a private message from you. Is this true? Someone is impersonating you? I believe I encountered her. We drank tea together.

If no one else has already handled it, I'll lock up your room.

If I contact you again, make sure you check the originating transmission code. She was... able to fool a surprising number of people. I'd like to think it was because no one was expecting it.

She didn't-- you're all right? She didn't do anything to you?

[Uhura assumes so, since Wesley didn't start out demanding to know why she'd hurt or betrayed him in some way. But she still wants to hear the words.]

[myheartglows]

What did you do?

[ voice ; locked ]

[demonologist]

[Knowing that his communications are being monitored, Wes is careful not to go into any specifics.]

I did some things which the police think broke the rules, Tony.

[ voice ; locked ]

[myheartglows]

... Did you hurt someone?

[idolstolemylook]

Oh, so you want me in on that, now?

Want me to spring you, Cambridge?

[Locked]

[demonologist]

No, don't be idiotic. By the way, all of my communications are being monitored. I'm going to presume you were joking with me just now.

You get on with Buffy, and you've shagged Faith so clearly she doesn't want to stake you. So, if that offer to help with Angelus still stands...

[Locked]

[idolstolemylook]

Yeah, whatever. Wouldn't want you out if I could, would I?

An' thanks for the vote of confidence about my skill in the sake, mate. Sure, fine. No interest in seein' Angelus fuck with my life any more than I have to.

audio & locked.

[hewed]

[ not the quiet, covert unit dollhouse security often provided. ]

Was anyone harmed?

audio & locked.

[demonologist]

No. No-one was harmed. I gave myself up peacefully.

[hewed]

Should I expect another power outage?

[demonologist]

[He supposes he deserves that quip.]

I've made it clear I don't want any illegal intervention on my behalf. Buffy is looking at trying to get me a temporary release so that I can aid in pursuing Angelus. Otherwise, I have a lawyer acquaintance who will be looking at securing bail.
