[A lot of typed up responses that are quickly deleted until eventually, after lots of blinking:] Hi.

[As Isobel H]

I feel like I joined the club at the wrong time.

[Phone call to Jude M after this. The Caller ID shows the call as coming from the jail.]

Ring!

[With the final piece in place, it doesn't take long.

A call comes in to LVPD late on Wednesday night. The voice is nervous, skittish, and disguised with a voice modulator. The person says they were offered drugs by someone in Aria, and when they saw the paper - well, they just don't want anyone to think they did something wrong. It was such a nice building before that woman moved in, but they're getting ahead of themselves. They should start from the beginning.

When the call is over, things move swiftly. Considering the other case their new suspect is tied to, officers wake a judge in the middle of the night to get their search warrant signed.

A team arrives at Chloe Murphy's suite first thing Thursday morning, and they thoroughly search her home. They find a key to a bus locker taped under a table in the first hour. Chloe is promptly brought down to the precinct for questioning, and the charges come by the end of the day. Police will not immediately say what evidence led to her arrest, but Chloe Murphy is charged with felony possession with intent to sell in the case that has been popularly known as the 'Debutante Dealer'. Bail is set at $500,000, due to the amount and the class of the drugs in question.

To say the press have a field day is an understatement. Articles and blog posts fly, theorizing about why this former cult member and ex-lover of Neil Donovan was trying to deal to the wealthy in Vegas when she already has a fortune at her disposal. With her connections, she could have made a killing, though her motive is murky. Was she trying to break from her parents? To raise money under the table to send back to the cult she supposedly left? Collecting money in an overseas account to pay for the murder of her ex's current girlfriend? There is no way to know, and the sheer amount of speculation makes it a screaming front page headline.]

[As Prince Charming, handwriting elegant and fast and excited.]

I take every bad thing I've said about this situation back. It's worth anything to see my castle again.

[After the news about Chloe.]

[Locked to Neil D]
Who did this?

[Locked to Casey D]
Tell me you're still fucking sitting on him.

ETA: [Call to Louis D, from Daniel's apartment phone.]
Ring, ring, ring!

[Locked to Chloe M]
Hello, yo. Do you know where I can "score" some Illegal Drugs? :-) [...] I need to talk to you.

[Post-phone call, in Daniel's apartment, Lin is trying to find the drunk. Which means he wanders around for a bit and ends up opening the door to the man's bedroom and throwing a book in, to see if it lands on anyone.]

Popcorn dot gif.

Seriously, if I had less of a conscience, I'd start taking bets on which member of Hatfields is going to hit which McCoy.

I still might.

Nope, nope, conscience.

As long as no one dies...

And in other news, Super Bowl. Seahawks vs Broncos.

I picked up Chloe from jail. She's out on bail, I brought her back to her room and put bodyguards nearby in case they try anything.

She says Louis Donovan came by and asked for a truce. Somehow that reads as extremely suspicious to me.

[After this.]

[...] Hey.
