I know. I could ask to go back, but God knows I don't want to do that, and even if I did there's no guarantee Rotti wouldn't pull something anyway...

But I don't want to just leave her behind, not when her father's locking her up and Rotti is trying to influence her.

So you can't stay but you don't want to go. Why can't you bring her along?

[morethanseeing.livejournal.com]

I would, but she's only met me the one time; I doubt she'd want to run off with someone who's essentially a stranger to her.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

You think she'd rather stay locked up by her own father for the rest of her life?

[morethanseeing.livejournal.com]

Even if she doesn't like being with her father, it doesn't mean she'll want to abandon her entire world.

I'll ask her, though. I'll find a way to reach her before I go.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Good luck. And be careful, I think there's more to that father of hers than simple worry.

[morethanseeing.livejournal.com]

How do you mean?

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

What was he working as, when you last met him?

[morethanseeing.livejournal.com]

He was a doctor for GeneCo.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

...a surgeon? He had a pretty vice grip on you there, so I'm wondering.

[morethanseeing.livejournal.com]

Yes. What are you trying to say, Mello?

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

...nothing, just a hunch.

[morethanseeing.livejournal.com]

What kind of a hunch?

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

...hard to place. But if I met that guy on the street I wouldn't turn my back on him, and that's not how an average doctor should seem.

[morethanseeing.livejournal.com]

No, it isn't. I wonder if maybe he snapped when Marni died.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

It's possible. I don't know how she died, but apparently she was still pretty young.

[morethanseeing.livejournal.com]

She was young, she was only twenty-two. Marni'd had a blood condition all her life, and when she was eight months pregnant she started hemorraging blood and died.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Does Nathan have any connection to Rotti?

[morethanseeing.livejournal.com]

He works for GeneCo, or at least he did last I heard. And...well, he also stole Marni from Rotti. Marni left Rotti at the altar for him.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

...and Rotti stood by and just took it?

[morethanseeing.livejournal.com]

He threw quite a few fits about it when no was looking, but he tried to save face to the press and seem as though he were fine with it. He even attended the wedding.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

That's all?

[morethanseeing.livejournal.com]

Well, when he throws a fit, usually at least a few of his employees wind up dead as a result. But yes.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Aah, that's more like it.

...still, has it been proven he had nothing to do with Marni's death?

[morethanseeing.livejournal.com]

I doubt anyone's ever looked into it.

...as much as I dislike Rotti, I don't know if there's any reason to suspect him. Marni really was ill for a long time, and the pregnancy only made it worse. And if he were going to kill one of them, why not kill Nathan instead?
