Holy shit.

I mean, heck. [She bangs on the glass once, wincing.] No, I'm pretty sure it's shit.

Even the lives of whoever's been killing us?

[suburbanlegend]

[Tight lipped, even the suggestions that her kids may be in danger is too much for her to risk mentioning.]

What if it backfires?

[324b21]

How could it backfire?

[suburbanlegend]

I don't know. They'd make it backfire. Picking someone like that seems a bit too easy.

[324b21]

It's not as if there are any right or wrong answers here. But if it makes you feel better we could throw in your car as well.

[suburbanlegend]

Dammit. Alright.

But just those two. [Because a human life and a car are the same thing.] Let's not get too carried away.

[324b21]

A human life plus extra for a life, I'd say that's a good deal.

[said more for the benefit of whoever's listening than Alison]

[suburbanlegend]

I knew I should have brought my gun. [To the car wash errand turned international kidnapping, no less, but who knew it'd turn out that way.]

[324b21]

They wouldn't have let you keep it if you had. Unless they wanted to see if you'd shoot me, anyway.

[suburbanlegend]

Of course I wouldn't shoot you. [No.] None of this is even necessary! But I bet someone in your active little brain, you're wondering if I would.

[324b21]

[easy shrug] If we start going through all the things I wonder somewhere in my brain, we'll be here a long time.

[suburbanlegend]

[This is doing the exact opposite of distracting both of them from one's possible demise.] How about we limit that to our little dilemma here?

[324b21]

That's easy. No one's shooting anyone here.
