Re: Back at Home...
Kelly returns the kiss, getting comfortable in bed. "Eh, its a thing. Common trait among sociopaths... all those reports after they catch a serial killer where no one expected it because 'he was such a nice, quiet boy', or all the victims who get away talk about how someone doesn't seem like a psycho because they were so charming. We recognize emotional cues and tics in people without empathizing, and react appropriately, kind of like actors with cues. Except genuine distress and pain cues... apparently we have trouble accurately recognizing those compared to the rest of the population." she muses aloud. "I just have a little bit of training and read all the psych manuals. Helped a little being in an org where they considered sociopathy a job skill instead of a hindrance."
Self-analysis done, she switches back to the topic at hand. "Red's takeover and the fact I talked with Red about King means he'll be looking for a new job if she's smart. I called in a favor in lieu of my last paycheck from Red though. If he tries to use any of her network, she'll hire him on and keep tabs on him for us... he's probably smarter than that, but you never know. Odds are he'll move somewhere else outside the east coast, so looking for him right now probably wouldn't help anyway."
She's quiet for a bit after that, considering something while snuggling. "Baby? I make no guarantees, but I might know something that'd help your sister."
