[ he's got that number, but he doesn't say to lord it over the man (well not much) only to be frank. ] You would be right. [ he pauses, takes a breath. ] In anything but layman's terms anyhow. But I am curious. [ his expression turns serious and so does his tone. ] Not to mention motivated. [ in his own ways. maiming, killing, manipulating, the like. ] I don't particularly care about the how; I care about the results, and you seem quite dogged in getting them. More than anyone I've met here yet.
