I have not betrayed you.

I have never sought your harm; am not engaged in your torment; nor wish you any ill.

All to the contrary.

Your multiple escapes from Burgess must had been an escalation each time until he finally threatened you with whatever degree of blackmail he has leveraged.  The complications you face with family, such as when I visited you and the events, as confusedly and multi-viewed described in, 'Hatchet Man', transpired, have only made things worse over the span of more than one year.

If he wishes to speak face to face with me here, on Wensley Street, and make known his ire, so be it.

Come.

Without your efforts towards your own liberation, I will pay whatever the cost in the hopes to win your freedom.

Again, I say,

"Come,"
