[ The last remnant of Hickey's easy smirk finally drops. Ah. So that's what Angelo meant by "recovery". No wonder he's in a foul mood. Hickey's eyes drift to the water again, brow furrowing as he thinks. ]

You might've led with that.

[ It sounds as if Tozer suspects rather than knows, but that may be more dangerous. Especially if he and Manson have discussed it. This could get out of hand quickly.

Still, Tozer would not sow distrust for personal gain. He may leverage his suspicions, but he will not betray for fear of cutting himself off at the knees. Hickey can turn this around yet. It's still an opportunity. It must be. ]

Tozer is correct. His words will have sway over the others if he can offer them insight we have denied them.

[ He inhales another lungful of smoke and holds out the cigarette for Angelo again. ]

I'll tell him as much as he needs to understand the importance of keeping this secret. We can trust him with that much.
