"So hang on," Isolabella snapped as she looked between her mother and Bones. "You let me watch Ace shoot Digger, then let me send him away, potentially to my own father mind, before letting me somehow attempt to grieve Digger's death which wasn't actually real?!"
Bones and her mother nodded slowly.
"We had to sell his death and your reactions proved incredibly convincing." Bones explained.
"Of course they were convincing! I thought my boyfriend shot my best friend!" Isolabella fired out as she looked between the two.
"Ouch." Digger grumbled.
"Oh shut up." She spat out at him. "You didn't think it would be wise to tell me any of this?!"
Genevieve shook her head. "Your fake reactions wouldn't have been half as convincing as the real ones. We all have no doubts that the rat genuinely believes Digger died by Ace's hand."
"Well funnily enough I believed that too till tonight!" Isolabella snapped as she leant backwards into the sofa.
"Bells you can't break now." Bones spoke as he looked across at her. "You have to keep up this act."
"What act?" She scoffed out.
"Sweetheart the way you've been behaving," Genevieve started as her daughter turned to her. "The aggression and temper, we all know that's not really you."
"What aggression and temper?" Isolabella scoffed out again, looking between the two.
"Bells even I've seen it through the window." Digger started. "You broke Will's arm because he offered you a hand picking up the target."
Guilt flushed over Isolabella's face as her mother turned to her harshly.
"You and him told me he broke it when he went on a run to collect some money." Genevieve spot sternly at her daughter.
Isolabella shrugged slightly. "He did break it on a run." She mumbled as she avoided their gazes. "Digger obviously saw it wrong."
"Bells your temper is becoming as uncontrollable as Taranis's." Bones continued to plead with her.
"Well maybe if you stopped sending him on stupid little jobs and spent time with him, he'd be doing better!" Isolabella snapped, glaring at her mother.
