>>>>>[ Information sent, Murph. And I appreciate the help. That will really go a long way in figuring this thing out. Just one question...what is a "chicken plate"?

Why am I offering you this? Because I know good when I see it. Take it from someone who very nearly walked down Dark Paths. You're a good man, Murph, and in my view, it's far better to keep the good around than where's so much bad in this world. But I realise that you have no reason to trust me when I say that that's my only motivation. That's okay. The offer stands if you should ever change your mind about that. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ So I used to believe as well. What I realised though, when I was faced with that choice, is that believing in the rightiousness of power is the fastest possible way to begin walking the Dark Path. I promissed myself I would never go down that road again. In the real world, who has the gun often determines who wins, it is true...and that is why having good, smart and experienced back-up around is never a bad thing. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[Haha. I was just making a joke by quoting an old flick (and when I say old, it's old). I doubt anyone saw that one. Anyway, if I have to be serious for a few minutes, I'm not gonna say if I agree with you or not. I chose to kill people for a living and thus I'm a really bad men according to what morality dictates. I have no intention of changing my ways, I'm rich and I don't give to charity, my money is mine. People are free to think what they wish, I think everyone has their own views on morality. Me, I don't think about it. All I know is that, like many others, I'm a guy with a gun. Or I might be just a psychopath but who knows!?]<<<<<

>>>>>[Or maybe... I'm a broken man, smiling and laughing to cover his sadness and remorse, living a life of debauchery to distract himself from remembering the things he's done and continuing down this line of work in the hopes that someone worthy and skilled is finally going to end his life. There's also the option that I'm screwing with all of you. Well.. I guess it's another mystery that is never going to be solved.]<<<<<

If you want to see a side of her you'll otherwise never see...come join us there around 21:00. It'll be me and several other former students of hers, but you're welcome to join us. ]<<<<<
