I knew a man in my world who was really, really good at pretending to be dead. He just used a mask to hide the truth. Until we have proof that they're two different people I'm not ruling out that possibility.

When are you going to talk to him?

[psycholawgy]

I know somebody like that, too! Not even a metaphorical mask, a REAL one! But he's been arrested now, thankfully. He won't be causing trouble anymore.
And I'm going to contact him tomorrow. I even bought a board game just for him!

[zerotohiro]

Same with our guy. Real mask, real set of handcuffs when they put him in the back of the squad car. You see my point then. [Huh. Funny thing to have in common with somebody.]

I know I don't HAVE to tell you this but be careful okay? I don't know why he likes you.

[psycholawgy]

He's not called The Phantom or anything, is he?
I'll definitely be careful. Even more careful than the time we kidnapped an android!

[zerotohiro]

No. [A pause in texts.] He was a professor at my college.

Athena how do you even get involved in stuff like this...that's something though. Keep your CereVice on you though and call somebody if you need an out. This just seems a little too easy.

[psycholawgy]

Oh.The Phantom was a lot of people. The last person he pretended to be was one of the detectives at the local prison. He was the one in charge of most of our cases, too.
I'll bring my CereVice on me, but I doubt Mosley would do anything to me, really. It'll be fine!

[ athena cykes' famous last words. ]

[zerotohiro]

Remind me to hang out with you one of these days and ask you more about the whole law-psych thing. [It sounds like a good story.]

I'm serious, especially when we don't know what else is out there. Don't die. Be careful. Update me when you leave Mosley's. I'm going to see if I can figure out more about Bellona in the meantime.

[psycholawgy]

As long as you like long stories and lots of talk about murder. [ because, really. ]
Try not to lose more sleep over this, alright?

[zerotohiro]

You'd be surprised.

And now you sound like my brother. I'll be fine. You should get some sleep too though especially if you're going to see him tomorrow. [He assumes it's tomorrow anyway.]

[psycholawgy]

I'll go to bed a bit later. I'm reading a book.
Anyway, you'll definitely be the first to know what happens after I talk to Mosley. Talk to you then!

[zerotohiro]

Sounds good to me. See ya then.

[Good luck, Athena.]
