We left the hat in Crimsyn’s room ここじゃもう話せない Outside, we shut the door Lassie stopped us “He’s too far ahead. We need her” I asked, “Her?” Lassie said, “I’d sent that message to one more person too” “Wait... you mean Gala?” I asked “Yeah,” Lassie answered I asked, “Isn’t she a magician now?” “On the surface,” Lassie smiled She read the room first Saw moves before they landed Cleared roads before we ran Pulled their focus elsewhere “She knew you’d come when I called,” Lassie said “So she took another trail Watched Coastridge’s next move While we handled things here” We reached our hideaway bar Only our crew knew it The jukebox played inside Then Gala walked in I asked, “Found something?” “Enough,” Gala said. “One thing’s bad.” Gala watched that agent sink Slumped at the table Stayed hidden till we left Found him later alone Sympathy, easy talk Soon he spilled “I came for all three,” he said “Coastridge said, ‘Not yet. Play their game.’” The Fourth Suit is back in play The hidden card was never lost Three were standing in the light One was working off the grid Now all four suits stand in view 四枚目が戻ってきた Suit up, suit up! The Fourth Suit is back in play Suit up, suit up! All in! Gala looked at Crimsyn and said “Your read from the hack? Pretty much right.” Coastridge ran with another crew Before he wore the badge Then the feds caught them Locked his crew away One deal hit the table “Work for us, your crew walks free” He took it for them Took badge, took command One job on this side Bring the Cowgirl Queens in Crimsyn leaned back and said “So those sealed terms...” Gala gave one nod “Exactly. That was the deal.” Immunity and cooperation The missing years now fit He opened their cage Then stepped inside another Gala shook her head and said “That’s not the worst part” “There’s still more to that hat” “It wasn’t just for communication” The Fourth Suit is at the table All four cards are finally shown Every answer that Gala brought back Exposed another move he had planned We thought we were right on his trail また先を読まれていた Suit up, suit up! He was already one move ahead Suit up, suit up! Stay sharp! Gala said, “One more thing about the hat” “The agent told me his orders” “Leave it near Lassie Lady” “Make her notice it” “Make her pick it up” Lassie asked, “To track me?” “Nope,” Gala said, “not the real play” “He needed you to touch it” You questioned the strange badge Took it to Crimsyn’s room Started digging through his past Every move felt like ours Every move was his setup Gala quoted him “I lost their whisky game Coastridge won his.” I asked, “Why Lassie? Why make her take it?” Gala went quiet “This is worse than you think I need to tell you now” Lassie frowned “What? Don’t turn this into one of your fantasy stories now.” Coastridge’s voice cut in, “Hold it, Gala. That part’s mine.” Lassie breathed, “Coastridge...” He continued, “Everyone saw three. I knew four. Before you moved, routes opened. Block one, you took another. Watch one side, eyes went elsewhere. That was you, Gala. Even better than Jennifer at going dark. And now... all four. Finally. A magician now? That tracks. Honestly... Yeehaw!! Try one trick on me. I volunteer!!” Lassie said, “Your inside voice is very outside again.” Coastridge replied, “I told you to ignore that.” Crimsyn answered, “Through a jukebox? Kinda hard to miss.” Coastridge got back on track, “Alright. Back to the hat.” I said, “That was a whole detour.” Coastridge told Lassie, “Why did I need you to touch it? Fingerprints.” Lassie asked, “My fingerprints?” He answered, “Exactly. Intel matched them, then traced your records. Bristol. Nice town. Your hometown, right? Keep saying you’ll slip away, leader. Maybe I catch what you care about instead.” The Fourth Suit is finally here Four Queens standing side by side The hidden card is back in play Now the stakes are higher All four suits are on the table その先にBristolの影 Suit up, suit up! Four Queens, now the table is set Suit up, suit up! Your move! Gala told Lassie, “That’s what I meant. He freed his crew with that deal. Then they put him in charge of bringing us in. Crimsyn’s files were right.” Lassie muttered, “This is the worst...” “You’ve gotta be kidding me...”
