Slade comes to just as Tex is finishing the knot that tie his wrists to the railing.

"Okay, did you overhear anything else?" Tex asks Sylvia.

She says no, and Tex gives her Slade's gun. "Alright, look, take this. You keep your eye on him. The cops will be here in a bit, so he shouldn't be a problem." Tex points at Klaus's body. "But there's something he's got that I need." Tex kneels next to Klaus's body, looking through his pockets.

"Tex, about that thing that Klaus said about me..." Sylvia says.

"Look, Sylvia, your business is your business," Tex says, distracted by his search. "I understand, okay?"

"Please.  Please listen," she says.

"It's okay, really," Tex says. "The past is the past."

"It's important to me," Sylvia says. "I want to tell you there's been some things in my life that I'm not very proud of. I used to work for an agency. An escort agency..."

"If I get out of this I'm gonna' bite your bloody leg off!" Slade interrupts.

"If he says one more thing I want you to just shoot him!" Tex tells Sylvia.

"...I've known a lot of guys," Sylvia continues. "But that was the past. It's behind me now."

"And it's alright, okay?" Tex says. "I mean, really, it's alright with me, it really doesn't matter, so relax, okay?"

"But I want it to matter to you! I've never had anything to do with Klaus or Law and Order or any of it."

Tex pulls what appear to be pantyhose out of Klaus's pocket. Wrapped inside is the eighth STG passcard. "What the hell is this? Card! Got it. Keep your eye on him..."

"I'm a new woman now," Sylvia calls after him. "I'm not the person I used to be!"

"Great," Tex says from across the room. Slade rolls his eyes.

"Oh, come on!" Chelsee says, back at the Golden Pagoda. "You did not fall for that old line, did you?"

"No! No way!" Tex says.

"Yes you did, didn't you?" Chelsee says, pointing at him.

Chelsee laughs as Tex lets out a big sigh. "Okay, so did Sylvia justify this whole escort thing with you?"

"Well, I guess she'd just gotten into modeling, and was barely getting by," Tex says.

"Oh..." Chelsee says, sarcastically sympathetic.

"A friend told her of a great way to make money..."

"Yes..." Chelsee says.

"...I guess that's the only reason she did it."

"A likely story," Chelsee says, groaning.

"Yeah, well, I guess I was pretty gullible back then," Tex says. "Anyway, while Slade and Klaus were waiting for me to show up, Sylvia overheard them talking. Apparently, Klaus had operated on Carl Linsky. When he removed the tumor, he replaced it with an implant that eventually drove Linsky insane. Slade just tracked him to make sure he committed suicide."

"I still think my theory's better," Chelsee says.

"Well, I told you yours was a better story," Tex tells her. "But regardless, Klaus was using Linsky as a guinea pig for the Law and Order Party for what they intended to use Overlord for."

"Did Sylvia overhear anything else?"

"Yeah she did, as a matter of fact. Now Klaus still wasn't sure where the Overlord main computer was. But he suspected it was at J. Saint Gideon's mansion."

"And that's where you went next," Chelsee says.

"Right."
