One of his guards walks us down to a creepy basement, "Is that a meat hook?" Ace asks
The guard walks away and we are standing in what looks like to be a good place for murder, "You know if your grandfather was going to kill someone, this is definitely the room he would do it in" Bess says
"Okay, remember, Everett does not know we are related, and I'd like to keep it that way" Nancy says
"But aren't you just a little bit curious about all of this, Nancy? The society, the money..." Bess says
"The murders and the...the bullying my mother into suicidal depression and the threats to kill me as a baby? Yeah, all that happened before I was even born. God knows what he would do to me now" Nancy says
"Yeah, but he is your blood" Ace says
"I am nothing like him or the Hudson's" She says sternly
"God, that really doesn't answer my original concern about us getting killed in a room with very spiky walls" Bess says
"Guys enough, let it go" I say
"So, I think this is where they bleed out the venison. And where they keep their Aglaeca related heirlooms. Gil must have snagged that mirror off the wall before Everett got here tonight" Nancy says
"Who would've thought that Mr. Hudson would be hanging out here, having some weird insomniac rich people gathering?" Ace asks
"No, and he clearly didn't want us to crash. Otherwise why would he put us in here?" Bess asks
Then Everett walks in, "A man has a right to defend himself from intruders" He says
"Okay, can I just be straight up? Is this your killing room?" Bess asks scared
"Who do you think I am?" He asks
"Someone who kills people. 12 innocent men on a ship" I say
"Also, you put a hit out on Carson Drew when he was in prison" Ace says
"Why so quiet tonight?" He asks Nancy
"I don't know, it's just I'm thinking about what you were doing with your secret council. My guess is, plotting to get yourself acquitted of 12 murders" She says
"Or strategizing my defense for my upcoming trial. When you say it out loud, it sounds downright criminal" He says
"Says the man who put us in a room full of knives and a drain on the floor" I say
"Why are you on my property?" He asks
She doesn't answer, "Well, Miss. Drew?" He asks
Then the door opens, "I invited her" Ryan says walking in
We all look at each other than Everett pours a drink, "I'm good. I didn't realize that Nancy was gonna come through the back door, but I invited her here because I wanted to thank her" Ryan says
"For?" Everett asks
"For finding out the truth about Lucy Sable. Yeah, she told me things that I needed to know. Made me realize how lucky I was to have her help. So I figured that deserved a face-to-face conversation and a little something for her troubles" He says and hands her some cash
"So you decided to tip her in the middle of the night?" Everett asks
"Well, yeah. Soon as she got done working at that lobster shack. I mean, come on, she doesn't set her own hours" Ryan says
"And she felt the need to bring an entourage with her?" Everett asks
"Well she enjoys traveling with wingman. She's a lot like you in that way" Ryan says
