Someone's tryin' to frame me and we're gonna have to catch 'em. If nobody else saw you find that my button is missing, then we can work with that.

[He puts the jacket back in his closet and shuts the door.]

Only us two and the killer would know exactly which button is missing. We can use that to figure out who the killer is.

[ Cain purses his lips, then nods firmly. There's a fire in his eyes. ]

I have your back. They made a mistake trying to frame you.

[ Steps forward to hold out his hand. Shake? ]

We're in this together.

[perfectpower]

[Sure, he'll shake on that.]

Yeah, we're in this together. We'll find the rat bastard who did this and tried to force the blame on someone else.

Don't mention my jacket at all during trial though. Wait for someone else to bring it up. The killer's gonna want the evidence traced back to me.

[uiscebeatha]

Of course. You have my word. We wait for the other person to tell on themselves.

[ The serious expression suddenly dissipates, a crack in his little shell showing worry and grief behind it. ]

...I don't want to lose anyone else.

[perfectpower]

[Oh nooooo

his expression softens.]


It's okay, I ain't goin' nowhere. It takes more than a frame job to take down Bradley Bain.

[uiscebeatha]

Yeah. I know.

[ Bandit King and all that... He knows. ]

I trust you.

[perfectpower]

...thanks.
