Panam meets Nathan, making sure she's covered, but the topic of conversation isn't what was expected...

I had two more slides planned but unfortunately there is no saul in the character selection on my Xbox. It's a bit short but oh well work with what ya got it guess.

Some language but nothing too bad.

Long story short, V is now a prime suspect of being The Deucer after this incident.

This may look like the conclusion....but is it really? 😏
