Are you going to be all right? I'm glad you were found. I wish I'd been around to help.

I'll keep an eye out for Sorrow.

I'm...great. And I'm not sure there would have been anything even you could do. Sheer luck, this time.

I let him know to stick around. I didn't have anything but circumstantial at the time and now with more detail the case is getting murkier.

Great? I'm used to 'fine', but all right. Is there anything I can do to help now? Even if it's just to bring you some decent coffee?

I can only imagine. He was a good man, you know. He helped me, a few months ago. He saw that I was trying to redeem myself and he helped keep me on the right path. That he'd lose it like that is very surprising. If I manage to talk to him at all, I'll let you know what I find out.

You can't offer a cop good coffee and expect anything but a yes. And, I figure if I start answering bigger, maybe I won't have to answer any more.

The more I look into this, the more it points to another player entirely. I'm just not sure how or why.

Do you have a favorite brand or type of coffee? I'll bring some by shortly. And I should've known better than to ask. Here's hoping I'm the last one.

It does seem to, doesn't it? I'd go so far to say that Sorrow wouldn't do this unless drastically altered or mind-controlled somehow.

No, just-- regular coffee's fine. Black. And it's okay, I'm just on edge about it.

More puppet masters, great. Mind keeping your ears perked for anything about a light blue or white ... mist? Pendleton seems to think Rip van Winkle's involved somehow.

Actually... okay this is super confidential and if you tell anyone I will shoot you. Even if it doesn't actually do anything. Lots of bullets.

...A Cinnamon Dolce Latte, if you can get it.

I'll find you one- and don't worry, I'll say it's for me.

Rip? Great. I'll listen for it. Unfortunately, the murderous types don't seem to be confiding in me anymore. Of course, that's probably a good thing, but it doesn't exactly help in situations like these.

You're my favorite for the day, Gabe.

Actually that brings up something I should talk to you about. It was brought to my attention recently that we might consider taking you off of probation and make you a full consultant. What do you say, wanna be a real boy?

Glad to hear it. But- it's Gabriel, please.

Off probation? I really appreciate that. Thank you, Chief. Am I continuing my undercover status? I doubt I'll get any more bites, but it doesn't hurt to leave the line out.

That reminds me- I'm more prone to having disastrous curse days than some people. In case I end up regressing, I asked a friend of mine to notify you, so you can pull my police access and/or be ready for the threat. His name is Anthony Rutherford. I hate to set something like that up, but it's probably prudent, especially considering this month. I hope that's all right with you.

Of course, Gabriel. I'll keep it in mind.

You may continue operating under your cover, if you wish. Otherwise, we can refile your paperwork. I was told what you did during the Ark curse and while I would call most people stupid for hanging back, I wanted to thank you.

That's...unfortunate, but I appreciate the effort. I won't really like having to use it, but it makes sense.

[makes_you_tick]

Thank you.

I'll think about it. And you heard about that? I'm already dead, so the flood wouldn't have hurt me, but- I was also cursed. I wish I could've stayed longer.

I had a couple bad days last week, and I wanted to make sure there was something in place just in case.

[cuffyoutwice]

Of course, I mean. The only person allowed to call me Katie is my dad, so.

I did, yes. And no excuses necessary. I chewed Castle out for it, you're lucky I know you're a little more resilient than he is.

I see. Everything okay now? Anything I can do?

private//unhackable

[makes_you_tick]

Oh yes, everything's all right now. Without the weight of the curse pressing on me, I can handle the temptation.

The fact that you trust me at all helps a great deal, to be honest.

You haven't given me a reason not to. All you've done is help and hopefully someday you'll return it. Trust that you are doing good work.
