She wanted to dismiss the problem, but she knew better. Leave her behind, and the manhunt became a murder investigation. At the moment the cops would be suspicious, but they didn't really have specific evidence of wrongdoing. There was a lot of circumstantial weirdness, but nothing that merited charges outside fairly generic, 'Failure to comply with lawful demands' or some nonsense. If they found a body, or evidence of a body, things changed dramatically, and not for the better.But she wasn't that kind of criminal. She didn't kill people, or dispose of dead people. She dealt with information, not blood and guts. She had a somewhat vague notion that it was very, very hard to dispose of a body without leaving a trace in this day and age. It wasn't just fingerprints and blacklights to find fluids now. Forensics could pull DNA molecules invisible to any other test off of just about any surface.About the only way to stop that was to make sure they never had a reason to bring in a team in the first place."Alright...alright...hang on. Assuming they don't tip off to the hypnosis thing," she said, pacing away a few steps, "Their first step will be to check our story. Marks, who legally owns this building?"</blockquote>
