To Those in the Know

[suave_thomas]

I feel like Bernard in reverse. I didn't leave my kids, they left me.

We've got a track on MaryAnne. She took James and headed for the frickin' border! But they know where she is now, ten hours later. For fuck's sake.

I want my son back.

She fucking what?

Dammit, if she weren't out of my jurisdiction, I'd arrest her myself.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

You read correctly. Thank fuck for Spectre's friend who's a Scottish cop.

And I'd love to see you do it, too. She took my son!

[empress-tasha.livejournal.com]

Thank fuck indeed. Good to have friends in North places.

What the hell is she, fucking nuts? As if we wouldn't catch her! What does she think we are, fucking negligent?

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Indeed it is. God, I miss him so much.

I think she's just freaked out, but excuse me, do not steal my child!!

[empress-tasha.livejournal.com]

I can only imagine. He'll be with you again very soon, though. That's what we're here for.

Damn right. Freaking out is so far from an excuse.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

I know. I was terrified that it was Amaris or Aurelia because Amaris said she would make me regret it, but Spectre couldn't heal Flynn. So it's just run of the mill crazy human...

I can see where it would be appropriate, but as James is not her child, it is not appropriate.

[slinkster-ghoul.livejournal.com]

Am I fucking nuts too?

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Stephie, Sweetheart, you are not who Tasha is referring to. Nor are you who I was referring to, and you know that.

You are Marie's godmother. You have a right to make the choice you have and I respect that. MaryAnne took my son from me. She stole ten thousand dollars from Peter, knocked Flynn unconscious and stole my son. I spoke to James on the phone and he was screaming because he'd been taken away from us. I understand panic, but what she's done is called kidnapping, which is not even close to needing a little time away.

[slinkster-ghoul.livejournal.com]

Yeah but it's kidnapping only cos she cared about him, probably. It's fucked up here, and she can see that, and maybe she's not used to it like we are so of course she's going to try and run away when things go mental. And maybe James is safer far far away from A&A. It's not as if Maryanne's any danger to him, right? Which is more than can be said for most of us, because any fucking one of us could be a mental blonde angel in disguise.

[empress-tasha.livejournal.com]

Of course not. Like Thomas said, you're Marie's mum. She's supposed to be with you, as much as she is with Thomas and Spectre. MaryAnne had no right to do what she did. Care about James as she might, she took him away from his family, and she didn't take him for any of the good reasons you have to be hiding out with Marie.

They're two really different situations, sweetie. And Thomas and I both know you're not the one in the wrong. I'm sorry, but MaryAnne is.

[slinkster-ghoul.livejournal.com]

Godmum. I'm her Godmum.

[seminalsemiotic.livejournal.com]

Oh for fuck's sake. James really is the only good that ever came from that place, isn't he?

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Uh huh.

Well Peter came BACK out of it.

I came into it. Clearly.

[seminalsemiotic.livejournal.com]

And suddenly I feel like we're talking about a much more specific place.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Yes, I was being rather crude, but that's what I do when I'm stressed.

[seminalsemiotic.livejournal.com]

Tainting my demure little mind, and all.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Yes, I fear for your innocence.

You're the one who gave me the holy edible undies.

[twilightrobe.livejournal.com]

Fuck that shit, man. I don't even have words.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

But I know you understand.

My angel. And she hit Flynn over the head and stole Peter's credit card too!

[twilightrobe.livejournal.com]

Jesus, what a piece of work. Tell you what, if I'd known sooner, I would have Millennium Falconed after her, man.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

And what would that entail, exactly?

[twilightrobe.livejournal.com]

Hittin' the highway in the Jag, and headin' her off at the metaphorical pass. I'd bet my left nut I know the roads better than she does, and I'm a better driver, too.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't bet your nuts, but I know you would have done anything to get my boy back. Thank you, Tamm.

[slinkster-ghoul.livejournal.com]

God, Tamm, she's only doing it to protect James! What she did to Flynn was messed up, but she's probably freaking out!

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Stephie...imagine if she had taken Marie too. If Marie had been here and MaryAnne had taken off with both of them, you wouldn't be defending her, would you?
