I'm trying very hard to be patient with you. Have you made contact with it yet? I need an update ASAP!!! Do I need to send someone else in?

I don't think three exclamations were necessary. You'd get your point across with one, I'm just saying. Also, you know damn well that sending someone else in is only putting a higher risk of it catching on. Don't be stupid. Get out your Snuggie, invest in decaf, and kick up your feet every once in a while. It'll do you good, promise.

That being said.. I have come into contact, yes. Last night. You weren't lying about it's strange impulse to be Hero. Things went well. It doesn't suspect a thing. I've managed to collect further insight to the monster, and it may prove useful with further planning. Laying low for a couple days to not raise suspicion. Will create another setting to run into it again.

Also, you need to work on that patience thing. It's a virtue, you know.

Contact with the monster was made again. It got a bit complicated, but the situation was handled.... it was not mentioned in the file that it was a frisky thing. Thanks, ass****.

There's your fucking update.

What do you mean frisky? What did you do?

Nothing happened between the monster and I, Snake. Calm yourself.

Man, that would probably hold more standing if I'd replied sooner, wouldn't it? Oops.

Guess I've just been busy doing my job. As you've hired me for.

Speaking of which. There was a strange occurrence tonight. Someone broke into the monster's camper. I seemed like a normal break in, but there was only one thing missing that made it seem.... off.

Would you happen to know anything about that, Reynolds?

Why would I know anything about that? It's YOUR job to know what's been going on with the monster.

I wouldn't say you've been doing your job considering you've YET to bring it here... You're not keeping up on your updates, and I really don't like your attitude.

Am I going to have to find someone else for the job?

Get. The. Monster. Here.

...or I'll find someone who will...

No need to be so defensive, Snake. Woosahhhhhh~

It was a suspicion, and now it's not.

Things like this take time. Planning, strategy. This isn't an animal you can lure in with meat and capture it with a bear trap. Do I have to read the file to you? Because you've clearly forgotten what this thing is capable of. Oh, have you gotten rid of all your mirrors yet?

....That was mocking. I was mocking you. It's so hard to express tones with email...

If you could find someone else who could, you would've a long time ago. Don't pretend I'm not your last and best option, Reynolds. I know you're not as much of an imbecile as you seem.

Talk soon. K, pumpkin? :* I'll miss you.


After the email was sent, Vince pulled his hands away from the keyboard and stared at the email history, reading and rereading the most recent messages from that day.

His demeanor was calm, but his eyes were cold as it stared at that screen. ".....Liar."
