Loki, me, and a friend who's now gone looked into some drugs that were moving through his club a few months ago. It traced back to Jesse. I don't know if it's still happening, but I do know that bad stuff tends to revolve around him, so I thought it'd be a good idea to give you a head's up.
[Because Jesse can care and be sincere about it, but he can also cause Verity a lot of trouble.]
[ Here follows a short pause as she curses colorfully and at length, angry about his having omitted details pretty goddamn important for someone he's been trying to sleaze up to to know. Not that she'd let him, but it's so much more obvious now how many backflips he must have done, knowing of her ability, to avoid her making him jump through certain truth-hoops. Fuck. ]
Yeah, the nurse. He's a pretty great guy when you don't know about the other stuff, and then you kind of wonder. He dated a friend of mine for a while before she found out. (She was the aforementioned friend.)
So, best to know. If I turn up anything on anyone else, I'll let you know.
[Kate rereads her text before she sends it. It's always tricky to talk about how she knows this. She does add, after a moment.]
Also, through some careful gymnastics, Loki kept him from finding out about me and my wealth of knowledge. If we could keep it that way so that I can keep an eye on this stuff, that'd be great.
