(Con, is that a yes or a no? You've told me one negative and then a positive.)

"Gretel, from a business perspective losing Kurai would be a huge hit to Flagg and everyone else. There's absolutely no reason for me to be inconsiderate." Fritz replied without a ton of emotion as he got out his scroll.

"And from a friend's perspective-" he turned around and placed a hand on her shoulder. "-if I could have done something, anything, to stop Laelia from putting herself on a bus I would have. I didn't have options then; I have options now."

He stepped outside and into an unused room, closing and locking the door behind him. Turning out the lights and cloaking himself, Fritz found a nice corner to make his call.

"CATSAI, run encryption protocols: Director level."

...

"This is Hargreave."

"Director, I have some news. Remember that Chess Set we bought a while back?"

"Yes, do we still have the Rook and Knight?"

"The Rook is fine, but the Knight is broken. However, we may be able to fix the piece with the tools in the Basement. It's a little too untidy here in the Living Room."

"It's a bit of a walk and the halls are blocked, how will I know the Knight won't break further?"

"Like I said, there's too many rats and ants in the Living Room, the Kitchen; the Main House is a damned mess. The Knight'll just have to hold on."

"Very well. Let the Breadwinner know that I send my regards. Hargreave out." With that, the Raccoon hung up without a word on what to do about "the Rook." Stahlfritz closed up his scroll and left the room, returning to Kurai's.
