“Miss Marigold, I am so sorry, the bombs he used that time weren’t the only ones, in the bar-”
“Be quiet for a moment”
She says, as she takes her phone from her pocket
Wow, skirt pocket!
“Huh? Um, okay”
She calls someone
“Hello Dear, it’s been a while”
“I need to tell you something, please come to the main room”
“What? Wait, is she telling Coli??”
“and Nina, have you seen Nadia around?”
“Ah, the other Coli”
She frozes for a second
“… What? Do you know where she went?”
“I see. Please come quickly, okay?”
“I’ve missed you”
She hangs up
“Mr. Detective”
“Ah, yes?”
“How do you plan to get rid of him”
“Wha-?”
“Nina talked to Nadia. She is looking for her father. Apparently, he is in the house, and Nadia saw him”
“Oh. Oh this is bad”
“Tell me, how will you get rid of him?”
“Um! I- We were planning to just… hide till the storm ends and then run to the nearest village…”
“So you’ll let him go free?”
“Well, no, I’ll talk to authorities and say he attempted our murders”
“But he might run away. He’ll most likely run away”
“What about Nadia?”
“Um, me and Ángel are going in there and talk to her before she and Eugene meet”
“What if you meet him instead? Or they’ve already met?”
“Um, well, Fight him? Or uh, talk?”
“… Let me tell you something”
She takes something to tie her hair from her pocket
“Woah! Bussiness Mari!”
Aah! Nina jumpscare!
“Miss Coli! Where were you?”
“Oh, at the bar”
“… You have, a lot of luck”
“Can you tell him about Nadia, dear?”
She seems happy about that nickname
“Ah! Yes of course!”
“Well, you see, I saw her enter the bar, she was looking for something, so I asked!
She said she saw Eugene walking around the house, so now she’s looking for him
She wanted to talk to him about something, probably another one of their creepy occult talks
I wanted to join her, but Mari called me, and once I picked up, she was already gone!”
“So you don’t know where she went?”
“I don’t”
“Is something wrong? Why is there so much hugging going on?”
“You need to talk to the man in the scarf now, okay? He’ll explain it”
“… Is Eugene okay?”
“What? Why are you asking about him?”
“ I haven’t seen him in so long! And last time we talked was… bad”
“He invited me here, and even then, I haven’t seen him at all tonight”
“… I thought he wanted to reconnect with us, after so long”
“He wants to reconnect his knife to my torso, that’s for sure”
“I should message him that we are here and-”
“NO WAIT NO DONT DO THAT”
“Huh?”
“Please don’t do that, talk to Ángel before anything of the sort, please”
“Um, okay…?”
She goes
Thankfully, her phone remains in her pocket
“Mr. Beebo, correct?”
“Ah, yes?”
“Eugene is a cautious man, and that makes him dangerous
He will not let down his guard until he completely thinks he has everything under control
Otherwise, at any sign of danger, he will attack, and he is armed with both weapons and explosives
Keep this in mind when getting rid of him”
“You want us to… kill him?”
“Or incapacitate in any way
He’s a man capable of anything, this night proves it
Running away is a safe way of getting out of this, yes. But it does not solve the problem
A bacteria will continue to spread if it’s not eliminated
So, what is the plan
And how can we help”
“Yeah, no, she is certainly Nadia’s mother. I see the family resemblance”
“…Eugene wants something with Nadia. If they both want to find each other, they will”
“And we will as well”
“I have a plan”
