Off Off Broadway: Edwin faces censure. It's very unpleasant.

“You did it, didn’t you,” Sinthea accused first thing next morning. “Honestly, Edwin, you can be such an idiot sometimes.”

“Now, wait just a minute, Sin,” Sharpe protested.

“I most certainly will not wait just a minute. I warned you about that woman. I warned you against letting yourself be sucked into her web.”

“It’s not like that. Not like that at all.”

“Really? Then tell me, how is it? You’ve compromised your own investigation.”

“You’re just jealous.”

“Oh, please!? She’s a person of interest at a minimum and you know it. Chances are pretty good she’s at the center of the disinformation and the breaches of security that are keeping you from figuring out what’s really going on here. Tell me I’m wrong.”

“You’re not wrong. That’s precisely the reason I went to see her.”
