She could tell him now, she ought to anyway after bungling a simple there's something we need to discuss, but it's nothing major. "I can, I just didn't want to barrage you just off your feet" she said quietly into her tea and took a sip before setting it back on the table. "I...I'm not completely out of The Dead, Ben. I'm not a Diamond Dog anymore, not even a little bit, and I never will be a Diamond Dog again. But I'm still in it." This was far more painful than she had expected it to be, she took another sip of her tea just to stall for time and gather her thoughts. How exactly was she going to explain this.
"I'm not in any immediate danger, no more than I'm in every day. I don't know how much you know about my family, I don't talk much about them but we were in the press frequently and it may be hard not to know about my family. The Carmichael's have always been a wealthy family and my father was very big part of getting The Candidate into office and to this day a lot of the money in The Candidate's coffers is money my father left in his will for the cause, as well as a majority of The Candidate's legal staff still technically working for The Carmichael Firm." She looked to Ben to carefully watch his face for a few moments for any sign of disapproval, "When the time is right I will be withdrawing all Carmichael resources from The Candidates cause, including the money my father left. There are still things Sweet Thing and I haven't worked out yet, including what some of the repercussions might be. As you can imagine, it will be public."
