[She pauses for a long moment at the reminder that it was enforcers who hurt him. Who killed Vi's parents.]

I'm less interested in discussing my pain than in ensuring she can't cause more to anyone else. And that includes not sending newcomers directly to her.

[cantilevers]

If she does based on my recommendation, I'll hold her accountable.

And respectfully, I don't take orders from you or anyone else.

[clavesregni]

And how will you hold her accountable, exactly? Where's the accountability for her other victims?

[cantilevers]

Depends on what she does. What are you looking for me to say, Caitlyn?

[clavesregni]

[She doesn't even really know, that's the most frustrating part. At home, she could arrest Jinx, but here...]

At the very least, don't recommend her services to strangers.

[cantilevers]

I'm sorry, but until I see signs of what you're saying personally or unless Jinx tells me not to recommend her, I will not be limiting her opportunities.

[clavesregni]

She poses a risk to everyone in this place. 'Limiting her opportunities' means limiting the chances of more people winding up dead.

I can't control your actions, but I will do whatever I deem necessary to make sure she doesn't hurt anyone else.

[He was silent on the other end of the line. Then he sighed heavily.]

You've been generous and kind to me, so I'll say this once as a courtesy: if you move against Jinx without probable cause, I'll put a stop to it.

[clavesregni]

We're well beyond probable cause. I've seen precisely what she's capable of with my own eyes.

[And, coldly, but with the wholehearted sincerity of someone who truly means it:] I thought you would understand.

[cantilevers]

I think I understand more than you give me credit for.

[His tone remained amicable, even reasonable.]
