for the rest of us death will be a relief

[She will. In fact, Sierra will probably hear her before she sees her because this shriek echoes through the empty halls:]

Damnit.

[A few minutes later, she stumbles back into the main area, seething.]

Hallewell's gone.

[ostensively]

He slipped out during the ceremony?

( That does make sense to her. It's unfortunate. )

You need to talk to your brother, then. Make sure all contingencies are in place. ( She scoffs. ) He's young again, too, isn't he.

[tearhiseyesout]

Unfortunately.

[Jaqueline grumbles before exhaling with a sigh.]

I'll find him after he's done talking to Rusty.

[ostensively]

Is it the worst thing in the world that Hallewell's a loose end?

( Or, maybe she's just tired. )

[tearhiseyesout]

No.

[At least not that she's aware of. She's not fully certain of what Max did to get Rusty's name from him, but maybe now would be a good time to find out.]

I just really wanted to kill him.

[ostensively]

Never say never.

( She softly kisses her wife in front of the other lemmings. )

You want to find Max now, don't you?

[tearhiseyesout]

No, he's talking to Rusty and I don't want to interrupt however that is going to ...

[Her voice trails off and her eyes go distant, and she shakes her head.]

Never mind. He's leaving and heading back and Rusty is standing still so they're probably not sneaking off somewhere to have sex. We're safe.

[Bummer for Max, though. Either way, she takes Sierra's hand and off they go to track down Max.]

[ostensively]

Waste of an opportunity, but I'm not then. And I got the best girl in the bargain.

( She does turn around to spy Max heading back around. She waves as Rusty's car disappears. )

Goodbye, psycho.
