we need to talk about bad guys!!!

[Kay pulls at Gumshoe's sleeve some time after he's done with the sandwich and pulls him aside - or at least, tries to, since she's a small thing compared to a burly detective. They didn't get to talk after she taught him the Parent Trap Handshake (TM) but now they can, away from everyone else.]

We can talk here, Gummy. I don't want anyone to hear us.

Thanks! It's all in a day's work!

[But his cheery smile fades after she continues speaking.]

...Wait, you were?! How's that possible?!

[kayssistant]

I dunno. Kinda like how Calisto Yew is...Calisto Yew right now, and not Shih-na. And how we just saw Simon Keyes but he told me he also played this game before.

[trenchdoting]

E-even Keyes has?! This is just bonkers! It is weird that she went back to her old costume... [But enough about her.]

So you got disqualified the first time around?

[kayssistant]

Yeah, no one wanted to volunteer to leave, but someone had to, so...I told them to vote for me.

[trenchdoting]

[He smiles.]

I don't get what all of this is about, but I'm glad that you made it out in one piece!! Now it's time to get through this one.

[kayssistant]

We'll get through, Gummy. We're not gonna let a couple of insurance weirdos get the best of us!

[trenchdoting]

That's the spirit, Kay! See, we'll show them... um... that we don't like their insurance!!
