Can You See Me?

You have to focus. Rid him from your mind, Les. He’s dead to you now.

@four-days-undead

That’s easier said than done.

…but, you’re right. I don’t have time for second thoughts. Are you…planning to “take the wheel” again?

I’m hoping we can get along without that. I only do that when I have to, so as long as you listen to me, we’ll be just fine.

I need you to get a job with the department.

The department?

It’s out of my element, but—I’m sure it’s for a reason. I won’t question it.

…I’ll get to filing an application, then.

Your fabricated qualifications will get you a job, as long as you take the interview seriously. I trust you can do that.

You seem like a very smart cookie, Les.

…yeah. Smart cookie.

You have to focus. Rid him from your mind, Les. He’s dead to you now.

Wake.

[The space they stand in is pitch black, and cold.]

Your core handled it well. I piloted us exactly where we need to be. Now all we need to do is wait. And we’ll have you an apartment.

[Les returns to consciousness—immediately finding a corner to vomit into. They cough while minimizing the mess.]

That was—

—an experience. I suppose I’ll have to get more accustomed to waking up like that. Sorry.

…where exactly are we? If you don’t mind me asking.

Your new apartment. I did say I’d set you up nicely, didn’t I? The only problem is, the current tenant isn’t alone. So, we’ll bide our time in the attic until they are.

..

I haven’t been entirely honest with you, Lesley. But I think since we’re friends now, I may as well come clean. I’m in a far worse state than I seem.

Don’t turn on the light.

I wasn’t planning to, rest assured. The last thing I need is to piss you off.

Wake.

…will it hurt?

That depends on you.

As I said. Sit still. I’ll wake you when it’s safe.

Alright. I’ll—trust your judgement on this.

He failed.

That’s…no surprise.

The odds were low. I love the guy, but—

It’s just outta his skill set to do alone.

Now we proceed with the next phase. Are you ready?

About as ready as I can be, yes.

…It’s for his own good.

You’re doing great.

…That’s about as close as it’s going to get.

The—lack of detail—shouldn’t break the illusion too much. It stands on its own just fine.

As long as Franklin doesn’t pick up on the signature, we’re set.

He failed.

Focus.

I can’t afford to have your nerves effect your performance.

@four-days-undead

…right.

I just have to—center—myself.

It won’t be a recurring issue moving forward. I can assure you.

I think I have my terms ironed out.

@four-days-undead

Right. Then, let’s work out the details.

Once Franklin is off of your trail, you’ll need a fake ID. A new name, a new identity. New everything. And I need someone inside the department.

I have a convincing ID and persona created already.

I get you out of this life? All I ask is that you do me a few favors in your new one. Spill a little information. Take documents that don’t technically belong to you.

…So I’ll be your informant? If I’m putting the pieces together right.

I think I have my terms ironed out.
