“I’m merely a man of justice, Ms. File. I see no justice in punishing someone who is clearly sick and in need of help. I’ll arrange to have a court officer accompany you to speak with Mugman. Speaking of him- Should he wish for it, I wish to buy him a prosthetic arm, yet I don’t have the ability to do that without consent from the parents. As their legal representative, you have the authority to consent on Claire’s behalf. Do you believe he’d benefit from this?”

“That would be best firstly discussed with him.” File was silently wondering if he had the money to spend on such luxuries. Not to mention of child that was adopted by his abuser. “Not to mention with Mr. Dice as he is his adopted father, I’m mere attorney.” She politely reminded him. Perhaps he disliked to talk to Dice as he was the one Claire fell in love and married.

“Of course, of course- you’re right, I’m just speaking with you as he’s preferred to not have direct contact with me. There seems to be some bad blood between us... And, I do plan to speak to Mugman about it. I just didn’t want to get the boy’s hopes up if his parents wouldn’t allow for it.”  He wasn’t going to mention that one night in jail, where he and Claire cheated on Dice.

“Secretary at your service “

Of course, they’re fakes. Just to waste his time, no use risking being sabotaged herself.

“Because you were foolish to think you can take him on.”

“I wasn’t going to. The murder business is Black Hat’s domain. I incapacitate. I lock away.”

“So If you dare try anything on him I will m̡̲͙̙a̝̱̱̯̮͍͎k͓͍̞̖̝̕e̵̗̙ ̤̭̲̩y̞͎o͇͠u͕̣̻̘ͅ ̫̦͔̬̣́r̼̭̫͔̀e̯̩̥̼ͅg̸̭͈r̥e̛̖̞̟̲͎̪̙t͙̲̲ ̟̦̯̮͎̟͍͜į̬͇̥̝̜̭̪ṱ͕͘.̗̗͕”

“Mortals. Foolish as ever. You’ll be long gone and six feet under before then.”

“Don’t.”

“He’s fair game. You heroes don’t belong.”
