Take Pity on An Invalid, Angel

(SASHA)

But Tyler, when I ask him later that night, is perplexed.

"Looking for something?" he parrots blankly.

"Gloria and I thought you might have an idea of what they were looking for."

"You thought I might have an idea what they were looking for?" His brow wrinkles, and there's a change in his attitude. "Sasha," he says carefully, "honey. You can't really think I've been working with the Irish?"

I let out a short laugh, although I'm coming to the end of my tether with all these paranoia insinuations. "Of course not," I say sharply, and then add, "I'm not accusing you of anything."

"Then…why do you think I might know something?"

I recount my conversation with Gloria. He looks doubtful, but less worried about my mental state when I finish.

"Well, I have no idea what they might be looking for, sorry. Money?"
