A/N: I'm sorry that this is basically 6000 words of conversations. They wouldn't shut up, lol. I didn't plan for it to be but when you can't fuck, you talk and that's what they wanted. It's a stepping stone for the next chapters which will be... tough. Thanks so much for the love on the last chapter, I was so nervous and I just really appreciate it!
I hope you enjoy it despite the talking. A lot of shit just came out when I sat down to write this. "In my feelings more than Drake, so yeah"
It's Thursday in Duskwood and there are a lot of things to settle and some secret plotting happening. Silly bastards.

"Seven times it came when you were not awake Seven times the flame, too much to take The sky burns red against your skin The world we know turns in the wind
Comin' like a hurricane I take it in real slow The world is spinning like a weather vane Fragile and composed Though I am breaking down again I am aching now to let you in
It's all we know, all we know, the hurricane Falling slow, falling slow in the pouring rain Watch it go, watch it go, we stay the same And I don't know, I don't know how it can change"

Manon
"I heard there was an altercation at your place last night." Alan Bloomgate drawled, and Manon rolled her eyes, wincing as she shifted in her chair.
"Mmm. Keep an eye on the hospital. I injured him, but it wasn't lethal."
Alan sighed, so long and loud Manon worried he'd pass out.
"And you couldn't have called the police instead of shooting him? Did you find out who he was?"
Manon scoffed and kept Paul's identity to herself. She didn't trust Alan not to rush in and fuck up any chance she had of ending this cleanly.
"Yeah, sure, because you've proven how well you can handle this shit. And no, his face was covered by that stupid mask."
Jake was trying to smother a laugh across from her, and she pointedly ignored the concern in his eyes as she absently rubbed her chest. She hadn't been able to wear a bra on that morning, had felt like she was in a vice, and Jake had had to take it off for her. It was not her finest moment.
"I'll keep an eye out. Let me know if he returns." Alan said in a flat tone and hung up before she could reply.
She locked her phone and set it on the table, eyeing Jake, whose eyes flashed with mischief.
