Parker really doesn't expect to feel so calm about what she and Laura are about to do.
Oh, there's still wrath aplenty, bubbling under the surface. And--if she were to be honest--a little thread of glee. This guy has been creeping Meg out for weeks. Parker finds, in a primal, about-to-kick-ass way, that she is looking forward to nipping Roe-bear's little crush in the bud.
Or, you know. Wherever else it might hurt.
The calm, though, probably comes from the company she's in.
"Okay," Parker says, quietly, as they step from Milliways into the deserted ladies room. One door is still swinging closed. "That must be the one Meg left through. Which means Roe-bear is going to be through that one."

"In fact, I'd say twist anything you want."
This is going to be a no-messing-around interview.
"Do you need help grabbing him?"

"No."
And then she moves out into the hallway, stride changing as she does so.
There's more hip in it, for one. And a lot less purposefulness.
Go figure.
