It's one way to guarantee good birthday gifts for the rest of my life.

[hawk_shot]

And he can't fire you if he already tried to kill you.

Not again.

[flippin_peachy]

He fired me after he stabbed me actually.

Got a lot of nerve doesn't he?

[hawk_shot]

That's some strong little shit vibes there, yeah.

...
I hate going back to mom, but
How was she when you saw her?

[flippin_peachy]

She looked tired and worn down.
But she perked up when she saw I brought biscuits.

[hawk_shot]

I bet she did.
Can't imagine food is that great there.
She's probably struggling without her coffee too.

... how are they treating her there? Could you tell?

[flippin_peachy]

They're treating her like a prisoner, Kate.
She may have the small luxury of going to a prison for wealthy types but that doesn't mean it's just bad food and no coffee.

[hawk_shot]

Is she hurt?

[flippin_peachy]

There were no bruises on her face but that doesn't mean anything.

[hawk_shot]

That's not good enough.
It would be abuse. She hasn't even gone on trial yet!

[flippin_peachy]

Do you think that matters to someone who takes issue with her in there?
Or one of the guards who likes to push others around?

[hawk_shot]

then we expose them!

She deserves to be punished but not like that!

[flippin_peachy]

[SIGH.]

Kate, you sent her to prison.
What did you think it was like?

[hawk_shot]

...
A place where she would pay for her crimes and be kept away from society because she's put it in danger?
She murdered and framed someone for it, Alfred.

What else was I supposed to do?

[flippin_peachy]

I'm aware of what she did and I'm not saying what you did wasn't the right thing.
But you have to be aware of what prison is actually like, Kate.

It's not an easy place.

[hawk_shot]

Fine.
So we infiltrate it.

[flippin_peachy]

And do what? Watch her every hour and every second of the day?
There's nothing you can do, Kate.

[hawk_shot]

Then we find someone to watch her!

I'm not gonna let my mother be the victim of an unfair system for the second time.

[flippin_peachy]

I understand that you want to protect her, Kate. But it's not possible.
Trust me.

[hawk_shot]

That's because I've never tried it before.

[flippin_peachy]

You wanted her to be punished for what she did.
She is.

Consider this her penance.

[hawk_shot]

I want my mom to go through a fair trial and to be locked up where she cannot hurt other people.

I don't want her to be abused in there.
I'm not gonna let it happen, Alfred.

[flippin_peachy]

I admire your optimism but unless you're wiling to fight the whole system Kate, there's not much you can do.

Also please take into consideration that you trying anything might hurt her chances at ever being released.
Actions have consequences and if you go around, blindly mucking about, she might get hurt even worse or killed.

[hawk_shot]

Then I'm willing to fight the whole system. I have the money, don't I?

... Guess I'll have to be extra careful.
Thanks for the opinion, Alfred.
And for helping me understand.

[flippin_peachy]

You don't understand at all, Kate.
Which is what scares me.
