[ OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT : INTERVIEW BETWEEN CROFT , LARA AMELIA AND AGENT HOLMES , SIMONE OF INTERPOL ]

SIMONE : Miss Croft , one last question — … exactly how would you describe your relationship with Prof. Werner von Croy ? LARA : Currently ? Strained . SIMONE : I was led to believe you two were quite close . LARA : We were , I suppose . At one point . He was my professor at uni , supervised both my bachelor's and master's theses . Not so much anymore , though . SIMONE : Care to elaborate ?

LARA : He had a permit for an excavation in Guatemala . Since I was already in South America , I joined him there — looking for a distraction , I suppose . He hadn't found anything of value yet , not by his standards at least , and he wasn't entirely opposed to outside help . About three weeks into the dig , he found an underground temple . Something neither of us had seen before … a cultural anomaly , so to speak . He was quick to push on , ignored just about every warning sign along the way … and when he entered the inner sanctum , the entire thing started collapsing . I tried to pull him out in time , but … I had to make a choice . I couldn't save both of us . SIMONE : And he took that personally . LARA : I suppose . He framed me for murder the second he got back to England — stole the Iris off me , too .

SIMONE : I don't remember reading about you going to prison for any length of time . LARA : Because I didn't . I could prove I was on a plane when the murder occurred . All he needed was for me to be in custody for a few hours , so he could grab the Iris I had taken when the temple collapsed . SIMONE : Does he still have it ? LARA : Unfortunately . And there's no telling what he will do with it , now that he's gone underground .

A wiser person might have hesitated . With the weight of a million unseen eyes on her , Lara frankly didn’t feel particularly wise .

❝ Fine , ❞ she said , slipping her bow over her head . Even if she were walking straight into a trap , odds were she’d stand a better chance wherever Feyre was planning to take her than she did out here . She simply saw no way of out - stealthing whatever it was that lived in these woods , even considering her training . ❝ I suppose I shouldn’t ask —… ❞

There was a part of her that wondered , however idly , if Feyre was going to go for an all - out sprint through the forest . The more rational part of her brain took the outstretched hand anyway . ❝ Let’s go . ❞

" i might. " no need to clarify on her phobias. they will have time later. " bringing yourself close to me will help me .. teleport us slowly but surely away to safety. at least .. as close to that as possible. " though she was still a fledgling in comparison to mor or her dear mate , there is no time for doubts on her abilities. she would , will save this lara. success to winnow may pave the road to 𝖓𝖊𝖜 𝖉𝖎𝖘𝖈𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖗𝖞. " it might be a bit strange for you at first. " she remembers the first time she had been winnowed closely with rhys. how it felt , the fear all encompassing her , and then the sudden urge to vomit from impact when they would arrive. a hand will outstretch towards the other.

" i know we've only just met. you can make the decision to trust me or not .. but i must encourage you to not think too long. " the urgency must be formidable.

                               ❨ @bhaalbie asked : ❩ ❝ I don't want to be alone . ❞

There was still blood caked to her chin and neck , the color slightly softened by the setting sun . Lara watched as parts of it crumbled and fell into her lap , silently counting the seconds until speaking felt less abrasive . She’d been there — had suffered a version of it , she supposed . 

❝ You’re not alone , ❞ she finally said , slowly settling on the log next to Dahlya . Experience had taught her better than to reach out and comfort her , but she hoped her presence was consolatory enough for the moment . ❝ Take deep breaths — hold your breath before you let it out . ❞

A year of therapy had taught her just about every coping mechanism out there , but none of them worked quite as well as focusing on her breathing . Besides , smashing a bunch of coffee cups was not an option right then . ❝ Is there anything I can get for you ? ❞

damn , [ name ] , how many cars can one person crash ?

i can't help it — when i'm behind the wheel , i'm a slave to the power of the machine .

other people worked very hard to buy those cars , and now they're mine .

why you gotta put me in a cage ?

i'm not a rat , okay ?

shut up , you don't know what you're talking about .

i am NOT joking , i don't wanna do this .

guys , we don't snitch . that's it , end of story .

will you listen to yourself ?? "jUsT tElL tHe tRuTh"

[ name ] , you snitch you die !

pretty sure that was already there when i walked up .

how is this good news ?

everyone's gonna call me a traitor , like you .

don't worry about it , it was worth it .

what are you doing tomorrow night ?

just say the words , and it can be yours .

oh , it's like that , huh ? fine .

what was that ? i can't hear you ... you can't breathe ?

you better figure something out , 'cause if you don't — i'll have to go public with this .

that's called extortion , stupid !

those guys are just covering their own asses , they don't even like you .

as easily as i can save you in this world , i can destroy you .

if anybody messes with you , let us know - okay ?

with a dong like that , you'd think he'd be happier .

do i look like i'm playing , [ last name ] ?

oh , your breath reeks of booze .

i hope you have a plan .

i was up all night watching prep school movies in preparation .

there are some real evil illuminati-type vibes in here , right ?

there was a time i could see , and i have seen .

oh , i'm just getting warmed up .

we are but food for worms , gentlemen .

whose burrito did i just step in ?

get out of here , the tv's mine .

what did you do to my shirt ??

how would you feel if i ran around stealing your clothes ?

we had to kill him cause he wasn't a team player .

no more special treatment for you .

i grew up in squalor , i am perfectly comfortable in it .

[ name ] , don't you dare !

didn't know you were gonna be so weird about it .

if you decide that you don't want me around , just tell me and i will go .

you're not the only game in town , buddy , okay ?

you don't know who i hang out with .

jealousy is the reason people hate us .

you don't have to worry about labels , just like who you like .

i hope this is some sort of emergency .

you kept me waiting , so i'm gonna get right to it .

don't make this your thing , this is [ name's ] thing .

suing is how rich white people solve their problems .

i wanted to sing and show you there's nothing to be afraid of .

i'm so nervous for you ... i want to throw up and run away .

you could have me escorted out , but you have no security .

ooh , dark scary room ! you know what they call that in prison ? they call that a blind spot . great place to catch a shiv .

what kind of operation are you running here ?

you didn't do anything wrong . i was the problem , not you .

where i'm from , the guest gets the good seat .

i drink , smoke , lie , steal ... i'm drunk right now .

i will ruin him . please don't let me do that .

i'm not the one doing whatever you guys are doing ... what are you doing ?

i'm not judging , at least he's a hot mess .

it's the wolf's job to eat the sheep , so y'know ... this was bound to happen .

i will RUIN you when we get home .

i'll give it back to you in a minute , you're gonna get it back .

the suit you destroyed cost a grand !

come on , [ name ] . i'll help you get settled .

he can't know it was my idea .

she made her mean bed and she can sleep in those scratchy sheets .

woah , tough day at the office ?

what the hell did you just say to me ?

you are right ... no matter what you say about anything .

we do this all the time , but usually there's some art to it .

this is not nearly as fun as i thought it was gonna be .

you're letting a bunch of nerds pick on you with their computers ?

why don't you just systematically destroy her ?

i can see where this is headed , so i'm just gonna hit the road .

she ripped me open , stuffed me full of devastation and then sewed me back up again .

leave me alone , this is all your fault .

why are they yelling ? are they angry cause they're bad musicians ?

i will never understand your generation .

let me have it . how bad is it ?

do you have any idea what i saw in there ?

you should come and check out what's going on outside , cause i think you'll be pleasantly surprised .

i just want us to be friends again .

it would be such a silly waste of time for someone like me to be mad at someone as insignificant as you .

the truth is , i pity you .

when the universe gives you a sign , it's not up to you to ignore it .

[ name ] gave it to me . it means i'm in charge .

i'm not comfortable with the whole arrangement . where's [ name ] ?

this is outrageous ! i'm getting passed over again ?

i don't have a problem , i'm just blowing off some steam .

you wanna get in on this ?

you deserve to take a time out as much as anybody else .

sorry , i didn't realize you were the fun police .

having money has reaaally changed you .

i've lost control ?! oh no , you dumb , dumb idiot . YOU'VE lost control .

that's a gross overreaction .

i will show myself the door in a ... graceful and classy manner .

thanks for sticking around .

look , i realize i did some questionable things in there .

i just felt like the universe was giving me a sign .

i'm the only one worthy of its power !

keep it in your pants and follow my lead .

it's no offense , i just don't know you very well .

let's go over this one more time , just so we're clear .

we've already been over the terms .

what's in it for you ?

i like the element of surprise .

wasn't expecting that . are you okay ?

i saw a burglar , i didn't know what to do ... so i SMOKED his ass !

you SHOT me ! what the hell's the matter with you ?

that gunpowder's like a hundred years old , it probably just broke the skin .

what about the police ? they're expecting a gunshot victim .

guys , we've gotta move this along , okay ?

you got it , i'll get you a pillow .

you're lucky no one was killed .

here's the thing about the bordeaux ... i drank it .

i'm so sorry that you had to keep our mansion warm .

how do you think the police found them ?

if you're done criticizing me , i think i'll head on up to bed .

you want me to do the jobs no one else wants ?

can we pick this up tomorrow ? i was shot , so ... i'm very tired .

it has nothing to do with that . okay ? now please leave .

i wanted to thank you for having my back earlier .

that had nothing to do with you . i was just trying to hurt them .

it's chloroform . i found a recipe online .

[ name ] , don't come at me with that .

i was gonna do whatever it takes . i'm not a quitter.

i wanna tell you , i really do . but first there's something i need .

oh my god , you're bailing again .

innocent people don't sneak in and out of their own home .

'cause i don't like you , that's why .

i'd rather get mowed down in a hellfire of bullets than listen to you screech .

you don't have to lie . i heard you guys .

how was i supposed to know you were gonna hug me ? i didn't even know you knew how to hug .

Tension crept into her shoulders , cold and familiar as the eerie silence of the forest around them . There was something about Feyre’s tone of voice that put her on edge — a soft urgency she recalled from Roth’s training so many lives ago .

❝ I don’t exactly have a baseline here , ❞ Lara mumbled , glancing off to the left . She could have sworn something had moved in the distance , just behind a large oak tree ; but even if it hadn’t , being out in the open made her antsy enough to warrant leaving the clearing as soon as possible .  ❝ You might have very specific phobias . ❞

She had to make a choice . Leaving with Feyre was risky , but staying would likely get them both killed . Better to get out of here now and take a chance on the repercussions later than not get out at all .

❝ How are you planning on getting us out of here , then ? ❞ Lowering her bow , Lara shifted her weight from one foot to the other . The forest had gone quiet around them — if they didn’t leave soon, odds were they wouldn’t leave at all . ❝ Hypothetically , of course . ❞

another snort at the question of a rabid honey badger. well , at least they could have humor in near death situations , she'd suppose. it reminded her of her own court. cassian , mor , amren , azriel and her dear mate rhysand would frequently make light of situations that very well could be their last. it was a battle cry to rally already 𝖙𝖍𝖚𝖓𝖉𝖊𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖍𝖊𝖆𝖗𝖙𝖘. " do you think that i would be worried about a rabid honey badger ? " it was not meant to mock. more of a question - of what the other might know of this world. of this PLACE she has stumbled into.

feyre will be subtle. level with the other as much as possible. a casual shrug is given. " you're smart enough to know this might not be a trap , i presume. if you had your doubts , i assume you would have taken the offensive and shot me with that arrow of yours by now. " a layer of comfort blankets blue grey eyes , softening. " i was once like you. and i didn't have a choice either. " a beat , she is turning away to survey her surroundings softly. the wood , the meddlesome wood . . . what lurks out there was much more than any horror she would want this new companion to be subjected to. any human , for that matter.

" i don't doubt your abilities , you know. " she says with a soft nod to the other. any woman who could face the music of what was right in front of her , feyre admired.
