Location: Abendblume<br/>
Addressing: Rebel <a class="username" data-user-id="6997" data-username="Traveler" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/6997/">Traveler</a>​</div><br/>Marcia clenched her teeth, then looked around. They were having this conversation in too public of a place. Rebel was saying too much. Speaking too openly. That was evidence enough that he didn't fully comprehend the situation.<br/><br/>"You think you know<i>everything</i>!" she snapped, took Rebel's wrist, and pulled him to a private nook where she could help the man to better understand her ire. She crossed her hands over her chest, turning for face the man, then leaned in close. Her tone was hushed, evidently her words not something other ears needed to hear.<br/><br/>"Armando covered for Ray to protect you and Dan. You and Dan were very nearly dispensable. How is that not obvious to you? That report.. Armando's account that I scribed for him.. Had you two come back and Armando not worded it just so.. I mean,<i> honestamente?</i>What do you think Hale would have done had you spoken ill of his favorite son? Said the words you are saying<i>now</i>? Armando understands the order of things here. Obviously, you do<i>not.</i>You said as much. You were mostly on the outside. The only thing Armando gave away was his position so Hale had<i>someone else </i>to point blame at. He forced Hale's hand with that report. I don't know why I was so god damned surprised." She should have seen this all unfolding, but last night she'd been tired and concerned. She hadn't been thinking of the political implications of Armando's report.<br/><br/>"We're in too deep at this point," she said with a sad sigh, her anger turning to sorrow, then came a bitter laugh. "Hale won't actually let him go. That is the worst of it. Hale can both destroy him and keep him at the same time and you all are too blind to see any of it. You just glow with the praise from the diabo disfarçado up until he discards you. You will understand with time. It'll probably be when it is too late, but you will understand eventually."
