No, no, no. Shut up or I'll kill you. The agency parasites hired you, didn't they? I'd have paid you twice as much to go fishing. You'd have to think I'm pretty freaking stupid to surrender to the agency. Why would I do that? I created this. I made it all happen. And then they wanted me out. Why? Because I saw the big picture. Stop walking. And what about me and you? We're both the same. We're both mercenaries. We're both dead inside. So why the hell did you come after me? I didn't come after you, dipshit. I came for her!
