>>>>>[What, you think I like having to do what I am? You really think I
like dropping every fraggin case because my superiors are corrupt and
owned by the fraggin Big 8? Drek, I was less than a day from about three
arrests and I have to let the cases disintegrate so all of Special Branch
can focus on you, and just you. In a very perverted way, you should be
honored. You fragged with someone one too many times and they had to tip
thier hand to me. If I'm lucky, I'll arrest you fast and then I can get
back to the buisness of catching criminals who are a drekload more
dangerous than you are.
I nearly had to pull in over 2000 agents worldwide, all of Special
Branch, into Seattle until I convinced Zach that they'd be more of a
problem than a gain. Luckily, they're still working on what they're
supposed to be, and SoG left Seattle.
And if I fail to bring you in, I may only be fired instead of killed, or
have all my friends killed instead.
You said that you act to save the individual, and I must agree that you
do so. But at a terrible cost. Perhaps I do think too greatly in terms
of the larger issues instead of the individual human suffering. Perhaps
I do.... But in the words of Albert Camus, "...good intentions may do as
much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding." I do not say that
you lack understanding of the consequences of what you do on a personal
level, but I do think you fail to see the greater consequences, perhaps
as much as I could be missing the smaller ones. Or perhaps Theodore
Rosevelt would be more appropriate: "No man is justified in doing evil
on the ground of expediency."
I also know some of Burke, although not much. "The greater the power,
the more dangerous the abuse." I believe is one of his. Be careful, Mr.
Lynch, that you not abuse the power you have.
Even as I called for you to surrender yourself, I know you will not do
so. For, as you say, it would be your death to do so. Unfortunately,
for both of us, it is my job to make sure you arrive in Aztlan alive.]<<<<<
