A tight frown forms on her lips at reading his response. She knew she could trust him with this sort of thing..but would it really be so easy to hide the truth from her children? What would they think of her, being involved with the mafia? ...Could she maybe cover it, if they found out? They had such a positive reaction to Elodie as Captain Catalyst--though the mafia and her work were two very different sides of justice--maybe she could just..tell them it was like a super secret league of somewhat less super heroes? Would they accept that?
And then there was the even greater problem. Ian had a point, with his last statement. She could put her trust in some of the police force of the city, and she definitely trusted Elodie..but not every cop was a good cop. Not all cops were going to keep her children safe. As a part of the family, she and they would surely have at least some form of protection, right? And with the goal Ian had in mind for the family...
[I believe you. You might have to give me a debriefing on how exactly the family will function, or how a mafia family really works, but..I’ll join the family. Just tell me where to go and what to do, from here.]
