Ken. Are you alright?

[bladed_siberian]

Fine and dandy. Don't I sound it?

[lady_wandering]

Not particularly.

[bladed_siberian]

... did you need something, or is this a social call?

[lady_wandering]

I wanted to be sure you were alright. I heard about the altercation with Mr. Carling.

[bladed_siberian]

... wonderful. Well, can't say that's a shock. I'm sure it's not a big secret. I have to admit, I'm kinda surprised that the chief hasn't nailed my ass to the wall yet.

[lady_wandering]

Situations like this and perhaps you deserve it. You need to trust us to sort this right.

[bladed_siberian]

I can't trust anyone on the force anymore. That's been made very clear.

[lady_wandering]

Really? What has the Chief done to make you not trust her. Or myself, for that matter. Dr. Brennan? We're all working to sort this out without further violence.

[bladed_siberian]

No one believes me. It's just that simple. Why should I trust people that won't believe me?

[lady_wandering]

It isn't that no one believes you, Ken. Its that we've had victims that have been manipulated before. And killers that have copied others.

It's not out of the realm of possibility that, while you're not wrong, you are mistaken.

[bladed_siberian]

... okay, say you're right. Say I'm 'mistaken'. How in hell are you gonna figure all that out? What happens then?

[lady_wandering]

We're working on it, Mr. Hikada. There are people that need to be talked to, evidence that needs to be gone over again. Something about alibis...

Then when we know? Then we can take action.

[bladed_siberian]

... right.

You don't believe me, either.

I'm so sick and tired of being kept out of the loop. I need information.

[lady_wandering]

I believe you believe he murdered you. That's the important thing.

[bladed_siberian]

... you do?

Why do you when no one else does?
