Chateau Grief 36

Marozi: There he is, my brother Adrian. You'll like him.

Kore: Wait! I've got money! Give me a ride back to the mainland!

Adrian: Pick up a cheap trick, James?

Kore: Take it if you know what's good for you!

Kore: I've got connections on this island...you'll never bring another shipment here again when I'm through with you!

Kore: Now, wouldn't you rather pick up an extra thousand or so? This doesn't have to be difficult.

Adrian: I'm not here to listen to some woman in a fairy dress try to sell herself! Do you realize that i've got a deadline? If we can't beta release by next Tuesday my project manager is going to get canned...and guess who's gonna be out on the street with him! Keep working on your brothel, James!

Thought(Kore): None of this is a dream, or a hallucination, is it?

Adrian: I sear, I don't know why I steal for you?

Thought(Kore): These visions...thousands of them...and that face, that man...the wall-eyed man...

Thought(Kore): I know everything about Adrian Marozi. Everything. And there isn't much to know

Caption: Four hours ago...

Cellphone: Jessica meet u tonight? I'm sorry Adrien This isn't working.

Thought(Kore): I'm not strong enough to lose my mind again. I cannot lose control now.

Kore: Charming. I suppose you'll want the cash, but I warn you, it's only three bucks. My overseer is a pauper.

Marozi: I can't understand why Adrian would say such terrible things! He's a gentle soul. A good man.

Kore: Jessica Cardona, you know her right? Police lieutenant Oakland PD?

Marozi: Yeah, wonderful woman. Adrian's going to be engaged to her.

Kore: No, he isn't.

Marozi: Oh no...

Author Notes:

Onward through rain and sleet and...tentacles...  

Specifically, Bingle, I'm not dreaming of a white Christmas.  I like it here in California in the rain, thanks very much.
