Tallula suspects you, but Linda supports you

After hesitating for a moment, Tallula finally brought up a shaky finger to point it in your direction, causing you to wince. You'd leaned in a little too hard on her during the earlier interrogation and she hadn't forgotten that, apparently.

"After I walked in on Mr. Wolf and Ms. Croft in the study, Mr. Wolf cornered me in the third floor hallway. H-He tried to intimidate me. I think he wanted me to keep quiet about what I'd see there. To let him handle the reveal on his own terms, so that he could control the narrative! That's what I believe," she explained, clutching both hands to the breast of her apron. She was clearly uncomfortable with any kind of confrontation.

Seeing you sweat, Linda gave your hand an encouraging pat under the table, then smiled in Tallula's direction. "Tallula, sweetie, I grew up with Malcolm. He was one of my greatest friends when I was younger! Even back then, I knew he was cut out to be a great detective, but that wasn't because he was mean like he probably seemed to you during your conversation. It's actually because he isn't-- he's a kind person who simply flips that attitude on like a switch for interrogation purposes! In actuality, he was the kind of person who acts tough in public and then sweats it out in private later, ha ha ha..."

It was a little embarrassing to hear it said that way, but she had you pegged. You didn't like confrontations either. You tended to put on a very different face on and off the job.

"I see... Sorry... I should have considered your profession and realized that's what you were doing. Ms. Langley is pretty scary too, ha ha... I'm sure she's just putting on a face as well!" Tallula giggled, seeming to cheer up.

"I'm not," Dee answered simply. She'd been idly adjusting her tie while the rest of you spoke. "Well. I can see this suspicion is going nowhere. Allow me to offer my own thoughts."
