> A: "You think you're some kind of hero? You think by throwing all this information out to the masses it's going to make the world a better place? After all you've seen, all you've managed to pry out from your research- do you even understand how dangerous this is?"

Right now we have teams going through your old home, your apartment, that safe you had hidden way down in your Parent's basement wall."

>
> B: "For what? Using the head on my shoulders to figure out something bad is happening, and then trying to find out more? The fact that you've all got people convinced that everything in hunky-dory when I know full well you're This close to losing control?"

> A: "Look. You realize that this conversation is the easy way, don't you? After me, it's not going to be nearly as pleasant. You're worried about a black bag- then what about several of them?"
>
> B: "You think I give a shit? I know what you people do. I've known since I started digging, since my friends went missing, since I found the fucking pictures and the dark lines of ink. If you found the safe, then you should already know how fucked you are."

> A: "What did you do?"
