Panel 1: At the Davies barbecue, a furious, soaking wet Casey has wrapped his hands around Darren's neck.
Darren: Look, Mulligan: Marie set her house on fire, and her parents died. That's a fact.
Voice From Off Panel: No, it isn't.
Panel 2: Frankie is standing next to Casey and Darren as Rahim watches from a distance.
Frankie: If you had read the rest
of the online articles, you would know that she was held for
questioning and released without charge. The house caught fire due to
faulty wiring.
Panel 3:
Darren: ...Oops.
Frankie: ...Oops.
Darren: How long have you known about this?
Frankie: Almost a year.
Panel 4:
Darren: For crying out loud...have you no sense of gossip?
Frankie [walks away]: Kill him.
Casey: With pleasure.
Alt-Text: The Forces of Gossip govern us all; we ignore them at our peril. Or something.
