[She doesn't respond. She merely deviates at a moment's notice from her trip home from work and to Nill's apartment building. Lisbeth hits the buzzer to Nill's apartment.]
[It's called an apartment, but really, the only person living in this building is Nill. It's a weird setting, but it's quiet and safe, and very few people actually know she lives here. No one will be upset if one day it goes up in flames, because they won't know she was inside it.
That's not important, though. Nill greets Lisbeth at the door and leads her inside. She's wearing a plain sundress, and no shoes; it shows off both the bullet scar on her chest (just barely), and the scars on her back from the heartless attack when she turns to go back into the apartment. They still haven't healed fully, but there are no stitches in them, at least.]
Give me a target. We still have two, right?
Tell me where to find them, and they'll be gone.
[She leads Lisbeth into the kitchen, just like she did last time, and takes a seat at the table. The apartment has changed slightly since the last time Lisbeth was here; there are targets set up in random locations on the walls, and several of them have knives or kunai sticking out of them. The fridge has also been covered in magnets and blank sheets of paper; there are no reflective surfaces visible.]
[Lisbeth is surprised by the state of the room, but makes no outward show of it. She looks around instead and her eyes eventually turn to Nill when she goes right into it.
The files from Claire have been sitting on her computer for weeks now. She's honestly forgotten them while she's been dealing with issues at home. Then she promised Jesse that she wouldn't stick her nose in anything dangerous.
But would he even notice? He's too busy with Jane and getting anxious whenever Lisbeth was within ten feet of him.]
[The rest of the room is relatively normal - her plants are still in place, furniture hasn't been moved, but it sure looks like she's done a lot more target practice here than actual living for awhile now.]
I don't need absolute specifics. If you can remember enough about them, I can work with that.
[She wants to make sure Lisbeth is as little involved as possible. If there's a fallout from this - and she's sure, eventually, there will be - then the only person she wants getting into trouble for it is herself.
Even if they're having issues, Lisbeth has Jesse to go home to after all this. Jesse will still be there, and Nill will still be here, coming home to an empty apartment full of ghosts. There's nothing to keep her from this anymore. She's not afraid. Honestly, Nill has never felt less afraid than she is right now in her life.
[Of course Lisbeth remembers every detail about them. She was stalling because she knows self-destruction when she sees it. Lisbeth remains quiet, mulling it over.]
Jaina Fife's father. High-level employee of AGI. Enjoys white wine, fast cars, and fast women.
[That's exactly what Nill needed. Just for Lisbeth to think about it - long enough for her to hear it, see it. She's already working on memorizing the details she needs. One at a time, that's all.
Nill almost smiles. She was getting better at this than she gave herself credit for.
She resist the urge though, and nods, placing her hands on the table in front of her, fingertips pressed together. Her palms are covered in still healing cuts and gashes from the 1st.]
I see.
[A mother. She hadn't been expecting that.
...It wasn't like she'd hurt the mother in front of the kids, though. If anything, she was going to do this quickly enough that neither of them suffered much, which was so much more than either of them ever deserved.
It's not really about the targets. It's about the companies. She's still here, and she hasn't forgotten; they need to know that.]
[MAN was a disgusting organization bordering on the neo-Nazi groups in Sweden, but Lisbeth had a rule about no women and no children, even if that woman was disgusting herself. Especially after seeing her mother crop up in mirrors and glass all over the city a few days ago.]

I'll have to look for them on my computer.

If someone comes after her, then bring it on.]

I will help you with one, but not the other.
no subject
[Which is true. She doesn't want Lisbeth's help. She just... doesn't necessarily plan to do nothing, either.
She intends to make sure both of those people are dead within the month.]
Thank you, Lisbeth.

Is that all you needed me for?

[A slight pause.]
You can stay though, if you'd like.

But she also doesn't want to feel like a bother.]
Only if you want me to.

It's too quiet here lately.

She'll kill Fife's father later tonight.]
