Case #40: Voice

[George's accent wafts over the network all by itself, which is fairly unusual.]

Er. Did everyone happen to awaken in...unusual circumstances, then?

["Unusual circumstances" is Victorian for "somebody else's bed & trousers".]

I woke up in bed with your goddamn inmate.

[Pause.]

We didn't do anything, and you don't tell anyone about this.

Re: [PRIVATE AS HELL]

[19centconstable]

Of course, miss.

Are you...is he...is everything alright?

Re: [PRIVATE AS HELL]

[creatingalegacy]

I'm fine. Last time I saw him, so was he.

Re: [PRIVATE AS HELL]

[19centconstable]

Good. Thank you. For saying, I mean.

Re: [PRIVATE AS HELL]

[creatingalegacy]

Yeah, whatever.

Re: [PRIVATE AS HELL]

[19centconstable]

Why...did you tell me about...this if you didn't want it known?

Re: [PRIVATE AS HELL]

[creatingalegacy]

You're his warden.

Re: [PRIVATE AS HELL]

[19centconstable]

Yes, but as you've said: nothing happened.

Re: [PRIVATE AS HELL]

[creatingalegacy]

You wanted to know about unusual circumstances, didn't you? This one involved your inmate.

Christ, if this is the thanks I'm gonna get, I won't bother letting you know if I'm aware of anything weird happening to him again.

Oh no! I hadn't meant to upset you; I was only curious. I really do appreciate it.
