[Lyle is sitting behind Parker's antique desk, and he's got his feet on top of it. At his elbow is a bottle of her best scotch, and it's missing a bit, which has probably been poured into the glass. On his left hand, he's wearing a glove, and he's got several files in his lap.]

So this is where my big sis popped off too. I wondered where she'd gone. [No you didn't, Lyle, shut up.]

Funny how priorities can shift.

I'm Mr. Lyle, and I'm going to be taking care of you for a while.

But not cooking. Let the staff do that.

Erik, I feel like we should talk.

Raven.

Says so right here in his file. [Erik tapped it with a grin.]

[youronlyfriend]

That doesn't make any sense. Why would he be an inmate?

[yourunichase]

You really don't know?

[youronlyfriend]

No, I don't. Erik's a good person. If he's going to be here, he should be a warden.

[yourunichase]

Let me guess: blinded by love.

[youronlyfriend]

[ONLY A LITTLE-]

He's my friend.

[yourunichase]

Sure. That's all it is. You're not thinking that someday he's going to look at you and go "wow, she was standing there this whole time!" at all, are ya?

[youronlyfriend]

No. And that has nothing to do with the fact that he shouldn't be an inmate. Is Charles an inmate too?

[yourunichase]

Nope. But then again Charlie's probably not a murderer.

[A bit amusedly.]

Do you like murderers, Raven?

[youronlyfriend]

No. [Oh boy she does not like where this is going.]

[yourunichase]

Oh. Well. Spoilers I guess, blondie.

[youronlyfriend]

Erik wouldn't kill anyone unless he had a good reason for it.

[yourunichase]

Blah blah blah revenge.

[youronlyfriend]

Revenge against who?

[yourunichase]

Are you sure you really want to know?

[youronlyfriend]

No, I don't. Erik wouldn't kill anyone unless he had a good reason to, and nothing you say is going to change that.

[yourunichase]

Well. I do happen to have his file if you wanna come over and give it a read.

[youronlyfriend]

I can just ask him myself.

[yourunichase]

How cute, you think he'll tell the truth.

[youronlyfriend]

I have more reason to trust him than I do to trust you.

[yourunichase]

Think what you want, blondie, but you know as well as I do what goes on here, and I have his file.
