Dead To Me: Wow. Splitting hairs much?

Lodestar: I don’t trust her.

Dead To Me: We can agree on that. You think she’s doing something behind our backs?

Lodestar: I just have a bad feeling.

Dead To Me: She’s already proven she can’t be trusted. So I can’t blame you. Is there anything I can do?

Lodestar: Nah. I’ve had Eagle Eyes monitoring her for the last four months or so. If it freaks her out at the same time then all the better.

Dead To Me: Lol. If I ever question why we’re friends, you do or say something like that and I remember.

Lodestar: Does that mean I’m predictable?

Dead To Me: The fact I figured you’d be behind Temper’s panicked call this morning… Maybe? But also… you got a sniper in for a two-buck thief’s job so… no?

Lodestar: :P The bitch deserves to be panicked.

Dead To Me: We both agree. Did you know she asked me for Creed’s number?

Lodestar: What a bitch.

Dead To Me: Right?

Lodestar: I figured she was one of us, but now that I know otherwise, it’s making me second-guess a lot about her. And being related to you isn’t enough to make me forgive her.

Dead To Me: Hell, I’m the one with blood ties and I don’t forgive the cunt either!

Dead To Me: What’s Eagle Eyes’ mission?

Lodestar: Just to monitor her.

Dead To Me: Expensive task. Not that I know you’re short of funds or anything, but your gut must be screaming…

Lodestar: It is.

Dead To Me: About what in particular?

Lodestar: How did she know Muñoz was trying to take me out?

Dead To Me: Huh.

Dead To Me: There if you need me, Star. You know that, right?

Lodestar: Depending on it.

Dead To Me: You know, if we were regular women?

Lodestar: Yup.

Dead To Me: This is where we’d send each other hearts, isn’t it?

Lodestar: :P Or xoxo

Dead To Me: Uh huh.

Lodestar: The thought’s there?
