#elsewhere

He knows perfectly well he spoke English.

Directly to Chelsea's car.

Where she proceeds to slash all four tires.

"So... I guess I better go.. CHloe used to be a LOT more fun..." A huff "Augie, I hope you're not the one who put the stick up her butt"

Then she sits on the front fender and waits.

"August." firmly "Chloe can answer that question for herself, if you dare to ask her."

Slowly twirling the knife in her fingers.

"What EV.." She goes outside with her luggagge "Can't believe you're being such a ..."

"BITCH! You trashed my tires!" Chelsea is LIVID

"August, would you mind getting an Uber for Chelsea? She's clearly not to be trusted to drive any vehicle." Mildly enough, still twirling that knife.

"You're crazy!" Chelsea eyes the knife

"Am I? I'm just having fun." She smiles. It's not a friendly smile.

"Oh it's on, you are going to like.. rue the fucking day for this, Chloe. What, I make one comment about you killing your horses so you didnn't need ot have a stick up your ass and you go psycho! That's my CAR"

Clearly, her car is more impotant than someone else's yacht

or a fisherman

"Oh, I'll apologize to your parents for the tires. The car is fine. And I'll have my lawyer draft you an apology." A look to August.

"I oughta pull your HAIR OUT" She shriieks but ..well KNIFE so she doesn't try

August pulls out his phone with a sigh and orders the ride-share.

"You could try," she says with a narrow look. "But you're nothing but a charity case right now, Chelsea, so don't expect me to be too impressed with your threats."

"Now, if you ever want to change that...we can talk."

"Oh yeah? I know secrets. I know what you did to those horses and more... bet the statue of limitations isnn't up on some of them.. you're gonna be glad you're screwing a lawyer"

Chloe stands and takes a step towards her. "You might want to think twice about those threats, Chelsea," she says in a low tone.

"I'm not sure threats are productive just now." August says "Can I recommend everyone take a deep breath......?"

"What are you going to do?" Chelsea says "Kill me here in your parennts drive way?"

"No, she won't." calmly.

"I'm wondering who exactly would care."

"Oh you are such a bitch..."

And the uber pulls up

Chloe just smiles and bows, accepting the title and directing with the knife her way to the Uber.

Chelsea goes to the uber driver

"Plaza right?" the driver says

August stands with Chloe in the driveway near the disabled car.

Chloe calls out, "Yes, thank you!"

"Yeah." She throws stuff in the uber driver's car "get me away from this skank."

The Uber Driver looks VERY uncomfortable "Ah.. to the plaza, yes. Got it"

"Bye-bye!" She waves cheerily as Chelsea departs.

"You better fix those tires... " And off Chelsea goes

Once hey are gone, a voice speaks up from behind them "What the hell was that?" Magnus asks

"Long story," Coradel says, the smile leaving her face. "August can fill you in. I need to talk to somebody...." She turns and strides back into the house to return the knife to the kitchen.

"I..." Magnus watches her go

Then looks at August "Dad? Are you and she okay?"

"I think so." August is watching where Coradel went "I'm sorry we woke you."

"That was a mortal relation of Chloe's and... not a very nice one. Will you excuse me while I go .... ah, check on Coradel?"

"I understand, and.. don't worry about waking me"

August glances at him. "Is the baby up?"

"Nope, slept through it"

"That's good." with a smile "Let me go after Coradel, the staff here know to get you whatever you need." and off he goes.

He nods but August is already gone. The Detective moves to the car, and looks over the tires. And... chanting, rewinds time

Well his view of time, as he sees what passed just recently

Meanwhile, if August inquires within the house, he will be told that Chloe went off in the direction of the stables. "She looked...quite upset, if you don't mind me saying," offers the maid who looks a bit intimidated about all the goings on.
