Dealing with this matter privately is the only way to avoid potential embarrassment to MetaHuman. You believe that Marc Bonnin is guilty, and you have the means to punish him.
Winston raises an eyebrow—a curious mannerism, for a blind man—and says, "I'll inform Electra. No doubt she'll want to wait a while before taking action against Mr. Bonnin, to minimize any risk of drawing undue attention."

.After your day at Tyler Bonnin, you go back to your hotel to wait for your return flight the following day. Leach has reserved rooms for you at a place at the edge of the village. Your room, on a corner of the building, has a view across the ocean on one side and out across the forest on the other.
The hotel's owner, Frederik, is overjoyed to see the three of you. You're a far higher class of guest than the scuba divers and kayakers that tend to fill his rooms.
That evening, you dine with Winston and Leach at the Hungry Lizard, the only restaurant on the island. It's a garish, touristy kind of place. Winston isn't keen on the food, but Leach orders a huge cheeseburger and makes a point of telling you how much he's enjoying it. Then the three of you return to your hotel to sleep.
Suddenly you hear a scream from the street in front of the hotel. Awake but foggy-headed, you slide out of bed and look down through the blinds in front of your window.
A man is lying in the street, his face angled your way—and that face, contorted in terror, eyes wide, leaves you in no doubt that he is quite dead.
And then you spot another figure. A woman, naked and beautiful, walking directly away from the corpse, into the line of trees beyond the street. As she reaches the edge of those trees she pauses a moment, as if aware of your scrutiny. Then she steps forward into the forest, and is lost from sight.
