[she heaves a sigh]

These roles are too familiar . . . So what now?

Comments

[hyanaimne]

Money, yes. I was asking to borrow some.

[carptricks]

Keep that close to your chest, of course. If anyone finds out, I'm certain you'll become a prime suspect as well.

[handwave handwave]

For now, however, we should focus on locating his will.

[hyanaimne]

Of course. I do not plan on speaking of it.

[she purses her lips] I will work on it.

[carptricks]

As his cousin, do you have any idea where he is keeping the will?

[hyanaimne]

Not a clue, and going looking for it would only be suspicious right now.

I know who might, at least.

[carptricks]

[perking up]

Ah? You do? Who?

[hyanaimne]

One of his wives, of course.

[carptricks]

. . . unsurprising. He seems to still cherish them both, judging by the photos on the mantle.

[hyanaimne]

He has his wives on the mantle, but not his child? Strange.

[carptricks]

Oh, he has photos of them. None of them are recent.

[hyanaimne]

Not even the current one?

[carptricks]

Nope. And yet Finn insists they were close. Strange, isn't it. . .?

[hyanaimne]

Very.

[carptricks]

How would you suggest we get the will's hidden location from the wives? We may have to be gentle with Mrs. Stayte. . . she's quite upset.

[hyanaimne]

I was actually thinking of speaking to the other one.

[carptricks]

Ah? Why her?

[hyanaimne]

She knew my cousin better than anyone else. She would know where he would keep it.

[carptricks]

A fair point. Then I will leave that task to you while I "assist" the investigation.

[hyanaimne]

Mmm. Let me know if you find anything out.

[carptricks]

You as well, my unwitting partner.

[carptricks]

[PSSSSST PSSSSSST PARTNER]

[hyanaimne]

Hmm?

[carptricks]

We're a bit out of luck as far as the original will is concerned. Finn found it.

[hyanaimne]

. . . hell.

[carptricks]

Our options at this point are extremely limited. We could pass the forgery off as a revocation and amendment of the will Finn found, but. . .

[man who would believe that]
