The execution has come and passed with the death of two more Agents. However time moves on without cease and so must the living. There are no celebrations, only the silence that grows heavier and heavier with every day and the feeling that something is pleased with what it has done.

There are two more days before the new week arrives: what will you do?

"Why wouldn't I be? If it works... it works."]

[ghostricked]

... I can't argue with that. But if I smelled something that we needed at a trial I wouldn't be able to keep quiet.

[She writes:

"You don't need to conceal it at the trial, just for the murder night. If there's some clue you need to reveal, you can come clean then.

If people think you're a lying liar who lies, well, you're still a living lying liar who lies who's still alive."]
