[Lithuania has had plenty of killer stomachaches--she prepared some more žagarėliai for the meeting and she's managing to not show any signs of pain.]

When Morrigan confessed like that, it became obvious Buddy must have been involved. But I couldn't send a child to one of those awful executions with an adult participant in the murder as an option.

[dereban]

Same here, actually. There's the truth and then there's... well. That.

[ Even though Inaba's a little warm, she's fine. A fever's nothing new to her, she can live. It isn't the first time that she's done something while sick anyway and she knows it better than anyone. She can persevere without showing any pain or much signs of illness. ]

[ his stomach hurts too but honestly, his frustration is even more potent. rhys doesn't really enjoy losing this badly. ]

But that's why we're here, isn't it? Whatever happens doesn't matter if we do our jobs and part of that is figuring out these murders. The right way.

[herbgrace]

I disagree that whatever happens doesn't matter. Someone had to be executed today. Morrigan is an adult, and she knew what she was doing when she spoke up. Buddy is thirteen, and since if we do our jobs correctly everyone will return, there was no need to further traumatize her with whatever this place had in store for her.

[ lithuania has a point but it still bugs him. ]

And what if this comes back to bite us? Getting it wrong on purpose just because the culprit was a kid? Will you still feel okay with it then?

[herbgrace]

It would depend on the situation. I would not have felt alright with killing someone who had no role in the crime in Buddy's place. Morrigan participated in the murder. [So she wouldn't have voted to execute, say, Ranulf or Sadie.] But, to be clear, if I truly believed that letting a killer, no matter how sympathetic, get away would hinder our work, then I would not allow sentimentality to get in the way of our job.

[ he looks at her for a moment before nodding, sighing and straightening up. his hands go to his waist as he looks at the chalkboard, feeling a bit more determined. ]

We do better next week. And none of us get on that god damn suspect list either!

[muties]

... God, imagine if all of us were on the suspect list.

[ JUST IMAGINE THAT HELL FOR A MOMENT ]

[jackhole]

[ hissing: ]

Why would you say that.

[herbgrace]

That can be prevented by none of us committing murder. [Since there are five of them, and so far there have been five suspects per week.]
