Sitting in Magenta's photo studio, Genesis waits on her so they film a video. He looks at all the lights and the multiple cameras set up in front of two director's chairs. He moves them from their previous position of across from one another to next to the other before sitting in one.
Right as he gets comfortable his phone rings. Seeing Choice's name on his screen he answers. "You with my sister? She's not answering," he says after Gee gives a greeting.
"Yeah, we're about to record a Youtube video. That's probably why. Wassup?" Gee slightly lies. The past month and a half, Magenta has distanced herself from all her siblings to save the stress.
"Cortlen's out."
With furrowed brows he sits up. It's been over a month since Cort turned himself in. After the first week of him sitting, it was evident Destin never intended to help. They had all come to terms that Cortlen would have to go to trial and fight this.
"How?"
"They lowered the charges from murder to abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence, so he got a bail."
"That's a big drop. It's a good sign, right?"
"Yeah. Cort's attorneys are going to argue it was an accident. That somehow the CO2 gas was turned on higher than usual and when he came to the room it was too late. They were already dead. He panicked and put the bodies in the incinerator because he had a record. He just got out of prison and didn't want to go back."
