Now we’ve got a big, big mess on our hands tonight [W6, Thursday, Pre-Curfew]

[Another day, another meeting. This one's more tense than usual especially with the lack of a small bat-child. Percy's right hand is sloppily bandaged up and his jaw is tight as his eyes burn with anger.]

Dr. Lecter knows we know. He's known since Saturday. Hal confirmed with me he's the Deputy, just like Hal confirmed to Dr. Lecter that we were onto him.

[A shaky sigh.] What the fuck do we do now?

[...]

He has to get away with it to win the game, though. That's something that's bugging me—the rest of us could probably still form the majority and vote him off.

Just killing Damian like this would be a risky move.

[oh. no]

What if he's using this as a move to smoke out the rest of the Bounties? The people he knows would vote against him in trial if Damian were killed?

So he's using Damian as BAIT?

[she nods, and boy she does not look happy about this suggestion]

There are six people in this room. Six people who would know for certain that Dr. Lecter was the killer if Damian died. Six people who could easily convince the others that Dr. Lecter was the culprit.

But if he eliminates those people, then he could go after Damian without having to worry about our group turning the tides of the trial against him.

[...]

Then whoever goes out there could still die, even if it isn't their third time.

[she says nothing in response, because. yeah]

Then maybe he's banking on another one of us dying, too. It took us this long to notice what he's been up to. He's smart.
He could have something else hidden up his sleeve.
