As you're heading back, Joseph pulls the car over. You get a confused look as you were just surrounded by trees and the road
Joseph: Eden I wanted to talk to you about the incident with The Deputy
You look at him
Joseph: Why did you let them go? You were really worried when they were gone. We captured them and you let them go; why?
You look down then grab your board and marker and start writing. When you're done you show him. He looks as it said "they are mute like me. They were in the same situation as me"
Joseph: No no, they are not. They are here to bring death and destruction and they want us to fail. Just because they are mute doesn't mean they are like you. There's a reason you're having dreams about them. Don't ignore the warnings Eden
He looks at the road
Joseph: I won't lie to you. I'm slightly disappointed by your actions
He look back down
Joseph: John said they killed two people; is that true?
You nod but then start writing. You show him your board that says "I thought they were going to put them to sleep. Forgive me"
Joseph has this sincere look on his face when he read that
Joseph: I do forgive you. I just hope no other blood is shed as The Deputy is roaming around but all is forgiven like I said
He smiles at you. You let out a smile to then look down. Joseph continues to drive. As time passes, you arrive back at the church. You see a bunch of armored trucks
Joseph: Hmm
You see heavily guarded men standing around with red masks on
Joseph: I wonder what he's doing here?
He? He who?
Joseph turns the car off and looks at you
Joseph: Don't be scared Eden, they're harmless
You both get out of the car and start heading inside. This time you go into which you are guessing is Joseph's office which you've never seen before but Jacob was right there sitting on the edge of the desk. You should have known it was him
Joseph: Jacob; what are you doing here?
Jacob ignores him and walks over to you. Your eyes get wide when he leans in to look you dead in the eyes
Joseph: Jacob
Jacob: Heard someone let The Deputy out
Joseph let's out an annoyed sigh
Joseph *whispers* John
Jacob: I need to speak with you Joseph...alone
He kept his eyes on you the whole time. You wanted to look down but you couldn't move
Joseph: Sure
Jacob: I can send someone to escort her
Joseph: They don't know where her room is
Jacob: She'll show them. Won't you pup?
You give him a weird look then nod
Jacob: Good girl
He whistles as one of his guards comes in
Guard: Yes Jacob?
Jacob: Escort The Prodigy to her room
