Re: Interesting Dilemna

If he's told you his name, what he used to do, and how he lost it all, it seems reasonable that he'd expect you to find out his story? Maybe talk to him about it, ask him if there's someone who you could talk to. From what you've described, it sounds very unlikely that he's going to be in anything ...

You should have stopped with anyone but ROG. You're possibly right. But Ellis was small and just as likely to be run over. I deserved that.
