"My only other idea was stealing from STAR Labs, and they weren't thrilled by that implication" Stephanie said. "I went with the old standby of 'I know a guy' until I could figure out a better excuse." She pondered for a moment. "If only I knew where that skeleton guy got his gear."

"Skeleton guy?" Oh god. His daughter wasn't the only one stealing from him.

"There's some dude who has a pretty sweet suit covered in Xs" Stephanie said. "I really wish I had found that wrist blade thingy myself."

Arthur referenced the list again. "There's more than one of you kids stealing from me?"

"Apparently" Stephanie said. She didn't intend to bring up Red X, but it WAS possible that's where he got it from. Hell, it might even help her case a bit.

"What sort of gear did he have again?" Arthur asked, picking up a pen.

"Well there was a black suit, which looked armored, knies, ropes, and blade thingy on his arm" Stephanie explained.

Arthur scratched a few things off. "Rope is generic, everything else is stolen. That's $9 million off your tab. Anything on who else has been helping themselves to my storerooms?"

"Nope" Stephanie said. She didn't intend on selling X out, but anything to get this over with was fine with her. "I kinda thought he actually did get it from Star Labs." Stephanie was laughing her ass off in her head, but she knew that her father wasn't a man to be trifled with. A thought came to her mind. "I wonder what happened to that old babysitter of mine..."

"Unimportant. That was a suicide, I've told you time and again." Arthur said. "And please. STAR Labs is jealous of the tech I have."

"Really?" Stephanie asked. "Because that was really well timed." She knew this was a stupid idea; but she had to know for sure if he really did kill him. And maybe she could drag the truth out of him over the "car crash"...

"Timing had nothing to do with it. It was a tragedy."

"Right..." Stephanie said. "So he just decided to kill himself the day after you saw him slap me?" Mouth, stop talking. Stop talking, stop talking, stop talking!

Arthur looked at her. One of the goons nearby grabbed a roll of duct tape, pulling a strip off for emphasis. "If you can't be civil, we'll finish this conversation later. After you've had some time to think."

"Go right ahead" Stephanie said, looking directly at the goon with tape. I get tied up a lot...
