Nine - Now That I'm A Man...

[bob_fraser_rcmp]

Well, that's one way to break the ice. Especially after the tension of the last couple of weeks.

I don't believe I caused overmuch trouble, but if you find a discarded flare on the second level, I apologise, it was merely a distraction and I removed most of the gunpowder.

Ned? I believe I am in a better position to discuss the reasons behind my being here, so whenever you're available, I'd like to get started.

Damon? How are you?

No we can't. Leaving the barge is our only option. You're quite right.

Are you close to graduating, do you think?

lies and deflection, business as usual

...

Well, I couldn't say for sure... How about you?

[bob-fraser-snr.livejournal.com]

I've just got here!

[talldarksaviour.livejournal.com]

Maybe you're a fast learner. I've gotta say, you don't seem exactly... inmate material.

Do you know why you're here?

[bob-fraser-snr.livejournal.com]

Well, I have fallen down in my duties. After a lifetime of service to the RCMP, I took a bribe and allowed corruption to florish.

I was working to rectify that, when I had the misfortune of getting shot.

[talldarksaviour.livejournal.com]

That must have been... frustrating.

Why the sudden fall off the bandwagon?

[bob-fraser-snr.livejournal.com]

Desk job. Retirement. Just fear of my morality. I needn't have worried.

[talldarksaviour.livejournal.com]

Well, like I said, we all make mistakes. How did that lead to the shooting?

[bob-fraser-snr.livejournal.com]

When I saw what my decision was doing to the land, I realised how wrong I was. So I decided to expose the conspiracy and I got shot before I could do so.

Seems to me you'd already turned the... moral corner. Like I said, not the usual inmate material.

[bob-fraser-snr.livejournal.com]

Well, we'll see.
