>>>>>[I give up. I just cannot deal with this any longer.

I guess it came down to there being nothing left to live for. Its just
wasnt worth it anymore. I dont really have any real friends. Yeah, I have
people that I pal around with but they arent friends. There is you, Trixie,
and the hounds. Thats it. Everyone else ranges from tense outwardly visible
animosity to lightly veiled caution. The thought of having to continue
watching and waiting for the sniper to come back for me was getting to be too
much.

I wish I could say I am sorry. Im not.

I wish that there was a little something that I could leave you but there
isnt much left in the way of money. IS&M locked me out of making purchases
over five-hundred nY without signature. I would leave you stock but I doubt
that you would want it anyway. I know --

Down at the Bus terminal near 5th and Grand there is a locker registered under
the name of John Flansburgh. Ill drop the key into the mail and you can
have the contents. My old SMG, a still suit, and a briefcase with bug
sweepers / jammers. Might be of some use to you. I'd leave you my armor
but it got pretty fragged up during the insect raid...Oh, THERE was a
mistake. Do you have any idea of the number of people that died because
of what I did there? I dont know. I can only assume that it was in the
hundreds.

I used to pride myself on the fact that, even when working for AZ, I was able
to honor my own morals of never killing innocents, those who were paid to
oppose me, or anyone who didnt deserve it. The only time I have EVER killed...
and his face comes to me so clearly now, was years ago. I dont even know
his name. I used to remember is. I killed him. He was just doing his job.
_I_ was the one intruding. _I_ was the one who was breaking into HIS place
of work. And for what? What caused me to kill? To save a friend. I did too.
I saved him. I traded one life for another. Is that fair? No, I dont think
so. Chiun. Dragon. Lives in china. They didnt hunt him down, HE
attacked their installation and they defended themselves. Nerve gassed him and
his entire group. He survived. Called us to get the antidote. We didnt
ask questions. He needed us, we came. I consciously traded that mans life
for the life of a great dragon. Not so great really.

And then there was Kellory. He was a vampire. Great guy, for the most
part. I killed him. I think he wanted to die though. Had this elaborate
plan for "killing all the vampires" by nuking the planet. Couldnt
allow that. I killed a friend. A good friend. He was one of the first to
accept me when I came out of AZ on the run and I killed him. Traded his life
for mine. Nothing as grandios as thinking I was saving the planet, it was, in
my mind, my ass or his. I chose his. And I killed him.

I have a warehouse out in the Barrens. You should go there and type in this
passcode to get in 9271459. Thats the master code. It should allow you to
enter and turn the security system off and on at will. My magical library
is under the loose stone in the center of the summoning circle at the North
East corner. There are various other things on it that you might be
interested in. Please post the information on vampires. Thats a few life
times of work for Kellory. Like I said, he expected to die and he mailed that
to me before we went on the job.]<<<<<
