[It's been four days since the Carnival. Four days. Not five. Four. So here's a casual question, Wonderland.... ]

I'm going to make this quick.

How sure are we on the goddam intel that each death means a full day to come back?

[Yeah, that's pretty much it. He said quick, right?]

Evelyn.

Someone's got bad intel somewhere. [And it better not be him. ]

[ Evelyn. Her fifth death. An early resurrection.

His blood feels suddenly - chilled. ]

What're you talking about, "bad intel?"

Re: voice; private;

Bad intel. If it was her fifth death, it'd be five days.

She's back, after four.

What do you make of that? [It probably comes out more hostilely than Frank intends. It's been a rough couple of days.]

[ Had Philip done the same? Come back after four, despite it having been his fifth death?

Sam can't remember. ]

... I dunno. [ It's honest, at least. ] ... I'd be more likely to think she'd turned if she'd come back after the expected five, honestly.

[ Why put them high alert for someone who'd been made a spy? It doesn't make tactical sense. ]

Something's up. That's for damn sure. Either that [Because he agrees--the best way to not be suspicious is to follow the rules.] or there's something else going on.

If nothing else the damn Queen seems to like chaos.

No question there. [ Does she like chaos, though? Or does she like order? ... Her own order?

Hard to say. ]

You keeping an eye on her? - Evie?

Trying to.


Evelyn's....not real happy with me right now.

I'm sure. [ Not a far stretch of the imagination. ] ... Let me know if you end up needing backup, I guess.

Re: voice; private;

No, it's fine. Worst thing she'll do is slap me. Again.

[ Sam scoffs. ]

In trouble over there, huh?
