Fight or Flight
The Black Void - Episode 3147
|
I'm seething over Max's betrayal, but also angry at myself for so
foolishly trusting in him. A quick search of the house finds it empty
except for Trina and myself. (Not that I'd stand much of a chance of
overpowering Max on my own anyway.)
I have an impulse to go after him, in the hopes that he hasn't made his way to Gustav yet. I would need Trina to help me, and I'm not sure that she would so readily betray the man who simultanously protects and exploits her. There's no guarantee he has the page with him anyway. Perhaps he was planning to blackmail Gustav, and if so he's probably not carrying it himself. Maybe he has a special hiding place or a trusted confidant he's given it to. Trina might be able to help me with that, but again at the risk of betraying Max. My other impulse is to flee as soon as possible, and get back to the Grand Hall. I'm in way over my head, and for all I know Gustav and his men are on their way here right now. Besides, it was never specifically stated that I had to obtain hard evidence. I was enlisted just on the possibility that I'd overhear something incriminating. Maybe the burden of proof isn't as high here and now as it is in my own world.
