As soon as Kate ditches Auggie, she stops by the clothes box to swap out shorts for something with more coverage. She gets lucky or maybe the box knows she'll set fire to it or who the fuck knows but it coughs up a pair of cargos.
She thinks about stopping by the Psych Office to ask Will where he thinks Druitt would be right now, first day on the island as an island and all that profiler hoodoo Will's so good at. But it's a waste of time. She's the one who's been tracking him. So she's the one who knows his movements best. Chances are, he'll do like most of the new people. Come here to the Compound, get food, get oriented. If not, she'll get Declan and start a search.
It's amazing how fast she can find someone she's been avoiding since he got to the island when she puts her mind to it. It's not ten minutes before she finds him in the hall by the men's bathroom. Gaze narrowed and eyes flat mean, Kate stalks up to him. "We need to talk." The now is very much implied. So's the, and that's not a request.

Date: 2012-01-18 12:21 am (UTC)"Lucky or unlucky for you, I know where you were until around five." When she saw them heading toward the cafe, though, she peeled off to do some other things. "Where did you and Joan go after the cafe?" She's watching him carefully, but Will's better at reading lies that she is. She's just one con looking at another. Watching his body movements and his tells.

John crossed his arms, willing to stonewall her from now on for whatever answers she wanted. The motion pulled at the wound on his arm, his sleeves pulling back just enough to reveal the bandage.

Date: 2012-01-18 10:05 am (UTC)Kate's gaze narrows, zeroing in on his arm. A bandage, on his forearm. One of the most common places for attackers to get defensive wounds. Yeah, she knows it. She's scored some hits like that herself. On both sides of it.
"What does that cover?" She's not fucking around. Whatever game of cat and mouse he thinks they're playing here, this just went from Q&A to show and tell.

Date: 2012-01-18 03:04 pm (UTC)"When Joan was entering the cafe she slipped on black ice and grabbed my arm. Her nails dug into me and caused several cuts."

Date: 2012-01-19 11:22 pm (UTC)"Convenient. I guess that'll be your explanation when your DNA turns up under her fingernails. If they can even test that shit here." Kate takes another step forward into his space and the threat in her tone is obvious when she growls, "Where is she?"
no subject
Date: 2012-01-20 06:25 am (UTC)"And I have no idea where she is. It's likely that she got lost when the island switched from London to this."
no subject
Date: 2012-01-20 06:54 am (UTC)Yeah, Kate knows. If Druitt knows where she is, Joan's dead. She can't let that affect her right now, or her sympathy for Auggie, or the guilt she'll feel when she tells him. The only thing she can do for Auggie and the island right now is find the body.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-20 07:06 am (UTC)"And if you are so convinced that I am guilty, then let's go to the authorities. Preferably without delay. Because I have done nothing to Joan and if she is indeed missing, then it's best we not waste time on this crusade of yours to see me punished."

Date: 2012-01-20 07:40 am (UTC)"The IPD office is that way," she says and gestures with the knife she's not surprised he saw her pulling. If she'd wanted to stab him, she would've stabbed him. Torture's bad for getting answers. If the IPD can't get any, she'll find Will and Declan and they'll figure out a better way. Or Will will use his profiler hoodoo and figure out where Joan's body is. If he killed her. "Don't be so shocked. I'd rather be wrong."
For Auggie's sake, and for Joan's obviously, Kate really hopes she's wrong.
