[ but what about the dimension murders, that's like 3 war crimes right there! still, he'll consider that question very seriously for a long moment. ]
I think going on the run with an eight year old would be tough. That's not a very stable environment to grow up in, you know?
[ no????????? ]
Debating murders is a way to put it... I almost worry we're going to be retroactively charged with "tampering with evidence" and "impersonating detectives" or something. Guess it's a good thing this dimension is going to be dissolved...?
[ they can't be charged if there's no evidence, right? (no) ]
[look he's not gonna pretend he understands all the context behind wishing the other dimensions away okay! they could've imploded in on themselves eventually for all he knows...!]
Ahahaha! That's one way to look at it. Although I could provide her with some basic education, at the very least.
[Which doesn't address the main issue, but at least she wouldn't grow up completely uneducated...??]
Even if it isn't, I doubt anyone has the jurisdiction to be making any arrests. What legal system would even take a case from another world?
[ imploded after getting their cores poked, sure. ]
Oh, thanks for volunteering - between the two of us, maybe Elle will see all the benefits of schooling.
[ yeah, like how necessary it is so she doesn't end up like either of them. ]
Well, technically, aren't you a representative of the law? You've probably got the most leverage here after... jeez, McGillis, I guess? And my world has an awareness of other dimensions-
[ ... ugh. he makes a face, abruptly remembering his little frantic outburst when they were debating the possibility of world travel earlier. ]
I could also rope in Abbas if we needed another helper. He might be the strong, silent type, but he can deliver a lesson or three.
[Actually, maybe he should outsource all of the teaching... ah well.]
I suppose I am. But fortunately for everyone here, Crossbell's state laws are pretty ineffectual when it comes to punishing foreigners. Even if you were charged and convicted, I doubt you'd even get jail time. Besides, based on what I've heard of Spirius, I'd think they'd warrant a little investigation themselves.
[...Which runs headfirst into another jurisdiction problem, but hey.]
Abbas the bartender? He's going on the run with us too?
[ he's curious! he's only heard of Abbas in passing, but if the man (being?) is coming along, then he must be someone Wazy really relies on. ]
Oh no, Mr. Officer, don't look in the company's basement, there's definitely not an illegal testing facility down there. Among other things. Whatever will I do?
But of course. He's mine, after all. ♥︎ [He could just leave it at that, but--] My subordinate, that is.
[He'll spare Ludger since he already put him through so much today.]
I'm sure McGillis would be willing to cut you a deal for some insider info. And if he jails you anyway, I suppose it'll be up to me to come to your rescue, no?
[ ludger shrivels up and dies at the realization the w0 questions came true, except that instead of a tryst with a married woman, it was a married wazy!!1!
oh, never mind, all good. guess he doesn't trip and die at the finish line. This Time. ]
I'm glad you've got such a reliable subordinate. Since it sounds like he'll be staging my jail break with you?
[ good to know Abbas No Last Name is down with spontaneously going on the lam. ]
I'll be counting on you to get me out quickly then, Mr. Hero. I don't think I'd last very long in military incarceration - their food is probably terrible.
[ to say nothing of the torture and other things available to use against a person that doesn't exist in a different world, but shhhhh. ]

[Because Ludger deserves as much a place in the do-gooder category as the other two, as far as he's concerned.]
But if anything, I'd rather sit back and enjoy the show. Then again, things were more spicy when we were debating murders.
[Which sounds bad but everyone's alive(?) now, so it's fine.]
