laughs Oh, honey, you don't have a choice. You see, I have a little secret that could bring you down.
"Oh really? And what might that secret be?"

tightens her grip on Echokers' collar Listen up, you little rat. If those cops come sniffing around, I'll have my lawyer make them disappear faster than you can say "tax evasion."
