Weird. I still want to keep an eye out for the creepy fuck, because frankly, I don't think you wind up with a demeanor like that without being fucked in the head in some way, and he has or had family sized connections with the US government, including some ties and projects that I simply could not get anyone to spill the beans on. And with a specialty like his, well, they've got the potential to be seriously ugly, especially since I know his ethics aren't *that* sound.

I've never had the problem Charlie's mob have working with the man, and yeah, it sounds like the MacTaggart business was a fit up job, but y'know, it was *very* fucking easy for someone to fit him up with it.

So fair enough, he's not a priority at the moment, and for all I know he might be kind to his dear old mother, and adopt kittens and puppies left and right, but let's still be very fucking cautious around him.
