Louise “Myra, how often have been able to enjoy the wonder of Eastern China?”

Myra “Since the last time you brought me along.”

Louise “It has been a while for both of us, I guess.  In any event, business awaits.”

Now in their vehicle with Myra driving, Louise begins to change clothes.

Louise “We’re about to remind an old business partner of our arrangement.  I don’t think he’s going to be too amused to see me.  But that‘s okay…”

She holds the mask in her hand before wrapping it onto her head and grabbing her hat.

Lady In Black “…He should know I’m coming.”

Back in Washington, D.C., Agent Gail Coeval has arrived for another round of interrogation of one Kate Lane.  Entering the lobby of the building, she sees a familiar face.  Her name is Lois Lane of the Daily Planet in Metropolis.  With her is another reporter, Claire Kent who seems to be keeping her company more than anything else.  Gail can only imagine what this must be like for Lois, knowing that she has a cousin in a federal holding cell.

Soon, Gail finds herself across a table from Kate Lane.  Kate is still being silent.

Gail “I saw your cousin, Lois outside.  She seemed upset.”

Kate “…”

Gail “You have nothing to say about that?  Nothing about Lois?  Nothing to Lois?”

Kate “We’re cousins.  But she’s just here for the scoop.  She only cares about her career.”

Gail “Speaking of careers, I need to ask you about another.”

Kate “You can ask whatever you want.  I’m saying nothing.”

Gail “So…nothing about the Tigress?”

Kate “…”

Gail “Nothing about Oswald Cobblepott?  The ‘Penguin’ of Gotham City?”

Kate “…”

Gail “Nothing about who hired you?  Nothing about wire transfers from other nations?”

Kate “…”

Gail “Including China?”

Kate continues to say nothing, but suddenly her eyes look down.  It as if a feeling of nervousness has overcome her.  Gail notices it immediately.

Gail “What’s the big deal with China, Kate?”

Kate closes her eyes and shakes her head.

Gail “There’s a very important businessman over there.  I have it on a reliable source that he’s somehow involved in all of this.  Perhaps you can shed some light on a man named Fang Gow.”

Kate’s eyes open and they look straight into Gail’s.

Kate “No.”

Gail “No?”

Kate “No!”

Gail “I don’t understand, Kate.”

Kate “They’ll kill us!  They’ll kill us all.  All of us.  You, too.”

Gail “Why are you suddenly so nervous, Kate?”

Kate “No.  I can’t…”

Kate is feverishly shaking her head.

Kate “I can’t!  I can’t tell you anything!  I’m safe here!!!  They might not kill me here!!!”

Gail “Who?  Fang Gow?  Somebody else?”

Kate “No!!!”

Kate Lane begins to grow more frantic.

Kate “You’re not supposed to know!”

Gail “Tel me everything, Kate!!!  Tell me now!!!  If our lives are in danger then better start talking!”

Tears run down Kate’s eyes as she tries to keep herself resolved.

Kate “No.  I’d rather rot in here where it’s safe.  If I go back out there…knowing that I’ve even been asked…hell no.”

Gail is perplexed and intrigued at the same time.

Kate “If you want me to talk…you need to stop him.  Because I guarantee if you don’t…you and I both will be dead.  Anyone who knows will be dead.  All of us…we’ll all be dead.”

This was not the response Gail was expecting.  She was hoping she would crack under pressure, but not like this.
