2019-10-31 - An Unexpected Answer

(TXT to Charlie) Gabriel : Hey, Charlie. You around? Not Halloween related. Sea View.

(TXT to Gabriel) Charlie : Yeah. I'm around, sup?

(TXT to Charlie) Gabriel : So I'm at this zany locals meeting that Clarissa Robbins is holding about the casino because it's going to hurt her property values. I mean, because she caries about people.

(TXT to Gabriel) Charlie : Uh huh.

(TXT to Charlie) Gabriel : And Bobby DeWitt, Monaghan's stooge of a lawyer, is here.

(TXT to Gabriel) Charlie : Yeah?

(TXT to Charlie) Gabriel : So I asked him what his client thought about the casino. Figured he would be against, right? Because of the drug competition.

(TXT to Gabriel) Charlie : He FOR the casino?

(TXT to Charlie) Gabriel : I quote. "The casino is already built. Tearing it down would be a waste of time and resources, not to mention the future environmental impacts."

(TXT to Gabriel) Charlie : Might just be lawyer speak for the cat's out of the bag...

(TXT to Charlie) Gabriel : Maybe.

(TXT to Charlie) Gabriel : Cut him in, maybe?

(TXT to Gabriel) Charlie : Cut the lawyer in or cut Monaghan in? I mean, I guess....they could be working together, but what would be the point of killing the Krugers?

(TXT to Charlie) Gabriel : No. Monaghan. But yeah. That's my question.

(TXT to Gabriel) Charlie : Maybe? It's as good as any other fucking guess with this case.

(TXT to Charlie) Gabriel : Still worried we're going to get the shooter and come up dry on the employer. Fuck.

(TXT to Gabriel) Charlie : Very real possibility. Very, very real.

(TXT to Charlie) Gabriel : Anyway. Just wanted to make things even more complex for you. If I suffer, you suffer.

(TXT to Gabriel) Charlie : Thanks. I appreciate the shared misery.

(TXT to Gabriel) Charlie : This case is going to drive me insane.

(TXT to Charlie) Gabriel : I'm with you. Professional hits are the worst.

(TXT to Gabriel) Charlie : Enough to drive a person to drinking.

(TXT to Charlie) Gabriel : That a suggestion?

(TXT to Gabriel) Charlie : Nope. I'd never advocate becoming an alcoholic.

(TXT to Charlie) Gabriel : Woah. I was just talking a beer.

(TXT to Gabriel) Charlie : I guess you can go get a beer after you're done.

(TXT to Charlie) Gabriel : Fair enough.

(TXT to Gabriel) Charlie : I've got some work to do, but might do that myself after.

(TXT to Charlie) Gabriel : We could even do it at the same place together.

(TXT to Gabriel) Charlie : Sure.

(TXT to Charlie) Gabriel : See you soon, partner.

(TXT to Gabriel) Charlie : Let you know when I get done.

(TXT to Charlie) Gabriel : Yep. Close some cases.
