"It's a clear case of self-defense with a corroborating witness who has<em>more</em>to lose by lying about me than she does to tell the truth, even if it's self-incriminating," she explained, with a shrug. "Previously they haven't even had<em>that</em>you know; this is not my first involvement with the defenders from either side of the investigation."<br/><br/>The smell of the room aside, Velma couldn't help but smirk.  Well, whoever said people couldn't be resourceful were fools themselves, she believed.  Though it did 'net' her some information about that 'Damark', which might have made up for the fact that now she'd have to speak to the guards and explain things<em>without</em>getting her information she was actually here for...<br/><br/>"Street and a half?  Hmm..." Velma thought as she crossed her arms under her yet bare bosom, turning and sitting upon the open windowsill best she could. "...so to clarify: Damark was Cabal?  Would explain a lot... also helps my justification... and why he'd likely know what I was... why didn't you mention this before?"
