"You know Trezlan I was content to just leave you be." Garrett had arrived with his entire crew in tow, they were armed, no need to bullshit me any longer. Garrett himself had a look on his face that was part disappointment, part anger. I wished there was someone else in my clinic, if only to act as a human shield (look I'm a terrible person I've admitted this!)
"Aside from making me play doctor to all these refugees, and laborer, and generally being a dick to me while you indulged sexual fantasies with women half your age." I'll admit his definition of leaving me be, and mine were at odds.
"Yes ignoring that you idiot." Garrett had dropped the enlightened attitude and was showing the rich prick he actually was. Yes I realize I have a lot of money as well, but I'm not a prick since I was not born to money, I stole it like a civilized person.
"This will not work out for you and your men, you have to know that, you know who I am, you know what I do, and you know this plan will not work because..."
"I'm giving you a cut, and asking you to leave." I admit I did not expect him to cut me into the action and then ship me off, because it was completely unexpected. I figured he'd threaten to kill me or attempt to, I'd kill him and then the world would keep on spinning. But because I'm a horrible asshole and the prospect of conflict made me feel all queasy I took his deal. Yes my great morals and desire for justice was wiped out with the prospect of monetary gain. Look I admitted last entry I was only mad it didn't make me any money, and here he solved that situation.
He even provided me a method of leaving, sure it was a shitty sailboat that had a not obvious flaw designed to break down a hundred miles out to sea. But hey I'm an idiot when presented with an easy solution to things and so I took it. I do realize looking back he totally screwed me. He never even gave me the cut of the action he promised.
