[ From here. ]

What do you know about the others present?

Of course, we both know Fin could have had nothing to do with it. I know Kira and Tod well, but neither of them are here. You are the only other person here I'm acquainted with.

What about you?

For the sake of going into this case with no biases, I would even wish to clear my son's name through evidence. I know my children were not too happy with what happened between their father and myself, despite my insistence that was okay.

[ Sighs a bit, fiddling with his dress. ]

I know quite a few people, though. Nothing too deep. Crim was an old friend of Phil's who had some sort of falling out with him a very long time ago. Layne ... well. You know who Layne is, sad as it is that she's now widowed because of this atrocity.
bloodbiter: (that's what i'll give if)

[personal profile] bloodbiter 2014-04-30 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
What? But Fin couldn't have done something like this! It is not in his nature. That is all the proof you need.

Do you know who could have had reason to kill him?

[personal profile] unguilded 2014-04-30 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
That is very true. I simply meant that I wanted to ensure that his name was clear for the sake of uncovering the killer. There are others here who may suspect him if they were familiar with those details regarding our family. He is definitely not on the top of my list of suspicions.

He's a good boy-- a very good boy. I'm very lucky to have him in my life, and I know those who also know him feel the same.

[ Giving her a pointed look. ]

I admit I do not know very much about Martin, his cousin, or much else about his new wife. Would you happen to know anything about either of them?

[rolls her eyes at that look!!]

I'm afraid I do not. I met them all for the first time today.

[ HOW DARE. ]

Really, all of them?

Well, in that case, how well did you know Phil himself? I know that you're rather close to me and my son, and your father was close to him, but I'm afraid I lack many details of the relationships outside of my own with you.
bloodbiter: (if that's what you need)

[personal profile] bloodbiter 2014-04-30 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
We became well acquainted over the years. Your ex-husband was like a second father to me.
unguilded: (touch the clouds)

[personal profile] unguilded 2014-04-30 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
He is a great man, isn't he? He's always been nothing but kind to me. Do you know of his relationship with your father very well?
bloodbiter: (i live)

[personal profile] bloodbiter 2014-04-30 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
I know they were good business partners, but nothing more. My father could not have been involved, though, he is across the country dealing with professional matters.

[ TIMEYWARP. ]

I wouldn't assume he was involved. However, I came across a letter addressed to you in one of Phil's more personal hiding places. He's leaving his share of the business to various charities and giving the rest of his accounts to my children. He asked you to explain why he did this to your father, as you'd be able to help him understand why he did so. So I was wondering what those reasons may have been.
bloodbiter: (and never let go)

[personal profile] bloodbiter 2014-04-30 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
I see. There's no special reason, that's simply the kind of person Phil was. He believed strongly in philanthropy... He had a warm heart. It's a quality we share, that may be why he asked me specifically.

[a pause]

But why did you read a letter addressed to me?
unguilded: (you've been rused!!!!!!!!!)

[personal profile] unguilded 2014-04-30 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Is your father a greedy man? If he was your father's business partner, he might have known already that Phil would do something like that.

But, I read the letter simply because I found it. I was looking for his wills, both old and new, in order to get a better idea of who may have killed him. And it was along with the will and something of mine in a somewhat secret hiding spot of his.

Perhaps their relationship was strictly business. If so, my father might have been surprised to have none of the money entrusted to him.

But if it had my name on it, you should have known it was a private matter!

When it comes to the father of my children and a man who I consider myself closest to being murdered, uncovering the truth is my priority. If this has to do with his will and the people potentially connected to it, I'm a little beyond considering private matters when they may be important.

If it leads to nothing pointing to you, then I apologize, but ... Phil was more important to me than caring about something like that.

Well, is that all it said? I want to see it, it is mine.

Here.

[ Handing it over. Angela's letter thanks her for being a confidante and requests that she do her best to explain to her father why Phil left his money to charity instead of to his business partner. Angela has the same soft heart as Phil, so she should be able to make Roger understand. And also would she please hurry up and marry Fin already? Stop lying to yourself, girl, you two are perfect together. ]
