"you would not believe my day," susan says as soon as they've got the webcam hooked up, dispensing of any pleasantries.

"oh?" edmund says archly. "did you get corin telling you to chill the fuck out?"

"no," susan says, "i spent several hours knocked out and tied up when i followed your advice and broke into miraz's office."

"WHAT?" peter exclaims. "are you all right? i'll kill him."

"yes, peter, because that's exactly what got us into this mess in the first place," susan sighs. "i have a headache, caspian has two black eyes and a broken nose, and lucy's pride is hurt, but otherwise we're all right."

peter is silent for a long minute while edmund works through the implications of this. peter gets it faster. "where are you?" he asks.

susan sighs, hesitates, sighs again. "telmar towers," she admits, and then, "peter, sit down! don't be such a child about this. he's not going to touch me, he's back together with his wife."

"and that's going to stop him how?" peter growls.

"well, for one thing," susan says, "prunaprisma carries a very large gun."
