We would owe a favor, and if anything goes sideways...

( but, she keeps that part back. Max is the one that connected himself, didn't he? )

He's a wildcard and I hear it's not the first time you've tangled.

[David raises an eyebrow curiously.]

Who exactly are we talking about?
ostensively: (warn)

[personal profile] ostensively 2025-01-10 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
He's not imprisoned anymore, David.

( She's going to continue to very coyly play this. )

Hallewell?

[He raises an eyebrow at that, before making a bit of a face.]

I don't think he'll play, whether he's imprisoned or not. Max had to twist his arm hard to get us Rusty.
ostensively: (the face i show to one person)

( That's right, they're all aware of him. Sometimes, he gets lost in what she was keeping and what they know. What she's been through and what could be. She sighs and sits back. )

What kind of distress call would we need, anyway?

[personal profile] maleficum 2025-01-10 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
I think just something that gets their attention, but doesn't attach us to it. We need them to realize something's happened to Kirsanov.

[Giving them a reason to close ranks.]

I don't know how much exposure I really have, now that I've come in from the cold. I may have someone, but I don't know how in they have it with our parents. Where does Harvey fall?

( Now. )

He's not happy with me for using his girlfriend as bait but as far as I'm aware, he's still on my payroll.

[That doesn't mean he'll be happy to do it.]
ostensively: (in cognito)

[personal profile] ostensively 2025-01-11 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
We're all being forced to do things we're not happy with. Why can't everyone just see that. It's like nobody understands if we fail it will impact them.

( Especially Elena Gilbert. She's over hearing about her. )

If Harvey's contact - or contacts - can send off enough separate distress signals they would reach out to the Inner Circle to close ranks.

[David nods, before pulling out his phone and pulling up his and Harvey's text thread.]

Let's see what he says.

[It takes him a few minutes, before he starts tapping:]

Hey. I have something I may need your help with.

[But to Sierra's point:]

I think they have the right to be annoyed when we don't handle things as gracefully as we could.

[personal profile] rehire 2025-01-11 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Optional ask, or is this something I'm going to be strongarmed into.

( Sierra makes points.

"Please locate this grace we could all be using. Rusty is right about one thing in all of this. This is war. War is bloody. And messy. And it's not pretty or graceful. Yes, we've lost a few players on the board and lost others' confidence, but we're not dictators."

[personal profile] maleficum 2025-01-11 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
We need to speed up the discovery of Kirsanov's fate - I was wondering if you have any contacts that could help with that. If you don't, then say no and I'll find someone else.

[No strongarming here.]

No, we're not. And no, Rusty isn't wrong. But that doesn't mean we've played all our cards well, particularly where Lydia was concerned. We could have tried a phone call and an arranged meeting in advance, for example.
rehire: (well you could)

[personal profile] rehire 2025-01-11 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
I'm his lawyer, aren't I?

( Sounds like it, but he's skeptical...

"Not that I want to start trouble in paradise, but your other half pulled the Stiles card."
)

[personal profile] maleficum 2025-01-11 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Have they had a lot of paperwork handled by him in the past?

[David makes a face.]

I know. And I'm sorry that it landed you in FBI holding.
rehire: (over there)

[personal profile] rehire 2025-01-11 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
It's not hard to need something or other, Donna can lose a paper or two. If this will help, consider it done.

( Sorry, David.

"And now I'm not. I'm not dwelling on it and you shouldn't. If you're so concerned with mess, Marie Kondo, then maybe focus on tightening everything up from here on out."
)

[personal profile] maleficum 2025-01-11 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
It will. Thanks, Harvey.

[It's probably gonna cost him.

He then pauses to send a response to his husband:]


Harvey is going to help move up the timeline, but give it a couple days.

[To Sierra:]

I'm doing my best. But as much as we would love to fight this in a vacuum, we can't.

[personal profile] maleficum 2025-01-11 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Good. Let's hope this all comes together.

[He leans back in his seat as he puts his phone down.]

Yeah, well, I think the plan is coming together. So at least that's something. The hunter Ezra brought in is going to spread word around the hunter networks and make it seem like it's hunters going after the Inner Circle.
ostensively: (don't test me)

[personal profile] ostensively 2025-01-11 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Lions, tigers, and scapegoats, oh my.

( Now they should actually eat. )

[personal profile] maleficum 2025-01-11 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes they should. And when the news comes through from Harvey's source, they'll make sure it's passed on to Jaqueline and Max who are already in place.]
