Meanwhile, Domino was on her way to the drunk tank, finishing the soda she had bought. Tossing the empty can into the trash, she relinquished her purse to security, walked through the metal detector, retrieved her bag, got her badge, and followed the security officer through the doors into the unit. A couple of drunkards made wolf whistles at her as she walked by, but she paid them no mind. Coming up to the unlocked holding cell at the end, she nodded to Lee. "Mind if I talk to Mewtwo for a minute?"
Lee looked to Kirby. "Alright if she talk to it?"
Kirby glanced up. "About what?"
Lee looked back to Domino. "About what?"
"Nothing much, I just want to explain something," Domino nodded.
Lee shrugged. "If Kirby's fine with it..."
"Yeah, she can come in," Kirby nodded.
Domino briefly bowed her head, then entered. She pulled up a folding chair and sat across from Mewtwo, who was finishing a sandwich. "I won't be too long, I just wanted to explain myself back there. I mean, yeah, my job's history right now, but don't take it as I'm leaving Team Rocket or anything. I love my job, but Giovanni can be really thick-headed."
Mewtwo nodded, but remained quiet to allow Domino to continue.
"Basically, if he destroyed you, that would be millions of dollars down the tube," Domino fidgeted with her purse, "and really, if his financial future means never getting you back, fine. Whatever. He'll thank me later when he's not in bankruptcy court."
"What are your plans, now? After your betrayal?"
Domino shrugged. "I'm not sure, really. I mean, I have a job I can go to. I can just stick with my medical assistant job for a while, until something better comes up, or I patch things up with Giovanni. I'm not totally ruined, but right now? I definitely won't be heading back to headquarters any time soon."
Mewtwo gave a slow nod. "And your accomplices?"
"He'll be fine," Domino nodded.
For a long and awkward moment, silence descended between them. Mewtwo was the first to break it. "I want to thank you. For your help. It was quite unexpected."
Domino cracked a grin. "You're welcome. Just... don't think we're buddies now, okay? I have my own life to attend to," she stood and looked Mewtwo in the eyes, "and so do you." Turning, she left the room and headed back for the main hall.
