 		[spec] further relationships for both Corazon and Spider
Some things I've noticed:

1. Spider, as a little girl, is teased by a 'Davey'. MacPherson has an estranged son Davey and another child. Mayhap the other child is Brenda who Spider kind of idolized. Furthermore, perhaps Spider somehow continued this relationship into adult life (lesbian relationship, even? No evidence whatsoever but I thought it might be intriguing to envision Spider, after a hard day of ninja-girl action, grilling steaks on the barbecue and downing a couple of mojitos with her partner as the LA sun set over their backyard koi pond...) and so is linked with MacPherson and is getting information from him.

2. In his translated phone call, Johnny Deuces says that he wants to speak with his brother, gets flustered, and says his OTHER brother. Then apologizes for something he said in a past conversation and explains that he pawned the gun. I think that he is talking to Corazon, is apologizing for the somewhat ribald exchange they had in their mother's kitchen the previous Sunday and telling her what he did with the gun. But why?

I think that Corazon does filing one day a week for Vaquero's bail bondsman. The day job that doesn't involve soft porn. That she is the new, attractive secretary that can't spell (or chooses not to). This would give her/him a connection to the underworld and the people who were looking for the gun. MOTIVE: That final operation s/he's looking to get does not come cheap, after all.

And finally, for the record, I think the cat has Vic's ghost inside of it. And...I would like to see the cat show up at one of the poker tables. It would probably beat me, that's for sure.

I am completely new to this whole ARG experience and, golly, there's a learning curve involved here so I apologize in advance if I have done anything to offend. (I used the search, I SWEAR!)

 		Great spec, ruminatinmind. And I would love to see a cat wandering around the tables...

 		Hey, I love spec!

Now, let's get picking:

1. The Davey that Spider knew was a Davey Whitfield. Don could be his step-father, although I seriously doubt it. More importantly though, Spider's Davey was back with her in England. If LCP is keeping the schedule of the real-life Against Me - and I think, they do - it means that Davey either lives in Nashville, Tennessee or in Covington, Kentucky.
Have a look at the show schedule of Against Me (Thanksgiving is on 24th November this year).
However, it is odd that we have two Davey's in one story...

2. Sorry, but...no. The brother on the phone is some sort of pawn shop owner and Johnny tries to get rid of the gun through him. Also, the guy in the kitchen at the Suarez home was Chaco. Sure, Johnny Deuces is not really Johnny Deuces.
Laughing But still, I guess he's not Chaco, either. He seems to have his own place and don't live at home.

3. Corazon does filing, but from her conversation with her mum I understand that she is being sarcastic and it means, that she doesn't work as a secretary and would never want to. What about Vaquero's bail bondsman, was he mentioned somewhere?

A ghost in a cat? In one that was alive before Vic died? Pushing the poor cat's soul out of her body? You are cruel! Razz

nah, just picture an ethereal data cable plugged into the cat's brain, with Vic spiritually holding a video game controller on the other end

 		If that cat can dual-wield, we're in trouble.

Remember, it an ethereal cable, the cat most likely can't even feel it.

 		Oh, I read "ether", I guess. Laughing
Still...you are overwriting a poor cat that could have lived long and prosper, catching mice, tormenting poor birds, constantly begging you for food, ruining your furniture...
I guess I'm rambling. You can tell that I love cats, right? Rolling Eyes

No, just kidding. I really do. Smile

 		Hello, cat-lovers...

I was thinking, actually, that since Vic might have felt that he still had business to wrap up on this mortal coil that he was kind of cohabiting his cat's spirit. What is the business? A documentary on the hardships of transexuals? Dunno.

However, further cat chat should probably take place on Phaedra's pre-existing and much more exhaustively-researched spec thread. Laughing
