"Hrmph," Nick shrugs. "I wonder why they're interested."
Meredith lowers her sword, seeing that Dorine seems to have broken, and not wanting her to accidentally cut herself open by moving too fast. She keeps it ready though.
At Cade's words, Meri gives him a perplexed look and repeats, "Mothra? What the hell are you talking about?"

"Well, well, you never cease to amaze me," Agent Duffmann said, once he saw Dorine. Despite the dust and dirt of ages, he and Pierce had managed to keep their suits relatively clean throughout the trek in the tunnels. Must be an MiB special ability
"You've gone and captured yourself a high-priced, international mercenary," he said. "Dorine. Last name unknown. A true psychopath, enjoys killing people."
"You, I should have known you were involved in this," Dorine said, spitting in Duffmann's direction. He neatly stepped back and avoided it.
"On the contrary, my dear. I'm merely a disinterested third party. She knows about magic and the other facts of life, but is not experienced with it. Sells her services at high prices. Extremely dangerous, but too unreliable to be considered for use by the Freemasons," Duffmann finished the recital. "And, as you've probably guessed, we've met before."
"So, are you going to kill her?"

As Duffman avoids the spittle, Larry grins at Meredith and says, "See, that's how you do it."
At the MiBs cold blooded question, Larry shakes his head. "No, not unless she get's difficult. It's such a pain to question corpses, don't you think." Turning a pitiless glare on the woman, he adds coldly. "And you're gonna play nice now, aren't you swetheart."
[sblock] No intention of murdering her, but Duffman doesn't have to know about it, bluff +14[/sblock]

For a moment Cade seems stunned by Meredith's words, in fact one could almost swear that his eyelids make a noise when they blink before he answers here.
"Mothra," says Cade, as if that should be enough of an answer, then he adds, "Created by Takehiko Fukunaga, for Toho tokusatsu films. Giant moth, sometimes she fights Godzilla, sometimes she don't."
"Damn, I need to drag you to a movie, or nine," says Cade as the Duffman and sidekick arrive.
"We could always turn her in for some money," adds Cade, with respects towards the comments about Dorine. "I'm sure someone has a few bills on her mentally deficient head."

Diego is sullen, ashamed that he'd been so completely taken in by the deceptive little bitch.
He brightens up a little at Cade's last comment, though. "Good idea."
Of course, he doesn't really expect they'd turn her over to anyone but the Hoffman Institute. Nice to play with her head to return the favor a bit, though.

"There's nothing more I have to tell you. You think my bosses tell me who they are? I work on my own, I get my orders over the internet," Dorine said. Meredith could tell that she was lying through her teeth and was desperately trying to get the team to drop the interrogation. Judging by her tone and stance, Dorine knew a significant amount of valuable information.
Meri utters a bark of laughter.
"Oh honey," she says, almost pityingly. "You're going to have to do a LOT better than that. And I know what you're thinking. These Hoffman dweebs, they might be good in a fight, but they're wusses when it comes to interrogation."
She nods at Duffman. "I'd like you to meet a friend of mine. He's not with Hoffman. He knows interrogation techniques that would send a hardened CIA agent running to yark out his lunch into the Mediterranean. And you've met our talented mage...you really think that little bolt of light is all he can do? You can't do magic if you're faint of heart."
"So you can talk to us all, right now...or to them...later."
