You're being looked for. Florida, he's a man I work with and very, good at what he does. Stay low, I'll do what I can but if Florida's looking for you, he'll probably find you.

[protective_logic]

Of course. But I must ask...

Can one lay lower than on a mattress on a floor? Not to be rude for it's extremely comfortable, but is there a particular reason you don't have a bed frame?

Frankly, he can find me if he really must. But I'm not going back. Would it be better if I found a place not associated with you?

[depthlesslock]

...That's not what I meant by "lay low", D. But thanks for making me smile. I just mean stay hidden if you can and don't draw attention if you go out. Yes, there is a reason.

Stay where you are for now. Florida doesn't - shouldn't - know about that safe house. But if I think he's getting close, I'll message you and you can get out.

[protective_logic]

You do realize the inherent flaw in this strategy, do you not? I need to acquire food. And a job. Not drawing attention to myself if I leave here is counter intuitive.

[depthlesslock]

Fine. Stay as low as you can. Do you want me to get you a disguise?

[protective_logic]

A disguise seems fruitless given my distinctive helmet.

[depthlesslock]

I could get you a new one. We have a few spares at base in case one of ours gets broken on a job.

[protective_logic]

My... implants, when they were new, were high end. Are high end still. The tech necessary to have a helmet work in conjunction with my implants isn't cheap. It's why my helmet upgrade is so low on the family totem pole. It's expensive. I can't just take a random helmet and expect it to function to allow me to pick up on quieter sounds without turning up the speaker feed and overwhelming me with other sounds. Nor does it have the high end speech-to-text and...

It's a kind offer but a random helmet won't work.

[depthlesslock]

Oh, yeah. Sorry, yeah that makes sense. Okay, so no disguise. Just... be careful.

[protective_logic]

If he's as good as you say he is, then careful doesn't matter. He will find me. Thus it is better for me to find a paying job and a new place immediately. Not that your kindness isn't appreciated.

[depthlesslock]

Careful gets you more time, even with Florida. But good luck on the job hunting and let me know if there's anything I can help with.

[protective_logic]

You've already helped me so much. I don't want you in trouble.

[depthlesslock]

D, I'm a Thief. I'm used to being in trouble. If I can help, I'm gonna do it.

[protective_logic]

I don't want to mess you up with Sig.

[depthlesslock]

Oh. Right.

I guess I'll have to cross that bridge at some point. But this was my choice, D. Don't pin it on yourself.

[protective_logic]

Yet I'm the one who went to my younger brother's boyfriend.

[depthlesslock]

Is there anyone else you would or could have gone to?

[protective_logic]

No. Not at all. That Tex woman was... far less helpful that I would have hoped.

[depthlesslock]

[Delayed]

Tex? You're getting help from Tex?

[protective_logic]

I'm doing some work for her.

[depthlesslock]

What work?

[protective_logic]

What is the one thing I know how to do other than raise kids?

[depthlesslock]

Tex has got you accounting?

[protective_logic]

Managing finances. I assume you know her.

[depthlesslock]

I do. How much is she paying you?
