A reward? Being from a rich family must have its perks. Other than the disappearance in the first place, but that happens to poor kids, too.

Some do.

I wasn't going to count that one.

Money can keep you out of the public eye, but it can't make you not exist.

You're a gem, love.

Who said she doesn't exist? She clearly does.

As long as I'm an extremely shiny, sparkly one.

But where was she before this?

The shiniest.

I would assume with the Osborns, as little girls tend to be with their families. I'll go back in the news, see if I can find anything.

Now I just feel special.

I [...] know someone close to them. I can't remember her being mentioned.

Actually, I was a reporter in Southeast Asia. Vietnam, mostly.

You mean the "conflict"? I came postwar. I think the company was desperate for people willing to go.

I don't need it sugarcoated.

How bad was it? What did you cover?

Think of all the questions like an investment. You're going to get to return the favor someday.

Good point. And I'm going to save these up. Don't think I won't. With interest.

It was about as fucked up as you would imagine. I came up from a Sydney paper, just supposed to report on the politics and infrastructure. Press conferences and interviews zzzz. I liked interviewing the locals, but talk about looking for a lot of people who weren't ever going to come home. They made for a hell of a story, though.

Loan shark.

Yeah, that sounds about what I would imagine it to be. I've worked in a few Asian countries.

You know it.

It wasn't all bad. There was a lot of excitement for the changes...that led to 're-education', but, well, humanity's not known for being nice about differences. Maybe I should visit again, see how the old haunts have changed.

Where'd you work?

Be careful, I've been known to bite back.

Humanity isn't really known for being nice in general. That's why the good people get so much press.

Tokyo, Hong Kong, Bangkok.

I'm not afraid of a little biting.

That's why the good rich people get so much press. There, I fixed it. Good is too fucking relative.

I've been to Bangkok. Fun city.

Brave, brave man.

Good. Mother Teresa good. Rich people are rarely good.

I like Tokyo more. Good memories there.

I guess so.

Rich people aren't good, but bad people can be good, too.

Maybe I'll try it out.

Being morally good, or even lawfully good, isn't limited to income.

Your Tokyo might be a little different than mine.
