Look, I’m not going to sugarcoat things. These overhead lights, Danny, this basement, it’s the last place you’re ever going to see. And everything that’s planned, it’s going to happen right over there, and you are going to feel every last bit of it before we dump you in that hole. Call it a threat, call it a promise, call it me predicting the goddamn future, I really don’t give a shit. What you did, Danny, what you got away with, in my opinion, it deserves all this and more.

It’s not my opinion that matters, though—I’m just the guy before the guy.

What, you thought this was a two-player game?

Danny.

Danny, Danny, Danny.

Seeing as we still have some time to burn, I’ll start at the beginning then.

Your name, Danny, it was part of a list—a list extracted from men much like yourself. Not in appearance, no, but in level of dirtbag. The one guy, a dirty cop, you don’t know, but McDonough, yeah, you and he had history. Not anymore, of course.

Man went up in flames, Dan. Yessir. It ended with an explosion too, but it’s really your name and others on that list that bring us to you gagged and tied to that chair. And I’m not going to lie—it was difficult tracking you down. Side quest after side quest after goddamn fucking side quest if I’m honest.

Don’t look at me like that, Dan. We found you in a stained wifebeater asleep on a couch in front of a PS3, for Christ’s sake. I know you know what a side quest is.

But all right, you look at me like you are a moron, I’m going to treat you like one.

These pit stops, the ones on our way to you—they involve a very particular man. A man who I’ve been helping for a little while now. It goes back to that list and the other names upon it, the ones above yours, and how it created certain opportunities by attacking them in the order in which they were written down. This man’s name, Danny? Rider. Sound familiar?

Yeah, I thought it might.

Anyway, we get to about halfway down this list your name is on, on to a man named Terrance, and this Terrance, he points us in the direction of a man named Toomey.

Lot of names to keep track of, I know.

Lemme try and make it easier for you.

Don’t gimme that face, Dan. Seriously. You have no sway here, no play. You drugged and raped your wife and monetized that shit. That you only served six years for what you did is what irks us the most, I suppose. Can you spell travesty, Dan? I sure as fuck can. But timeline-wise, it did coincide with McDonough giving you up, so maybe, just maybe, I shouldn’t be looking a gift horse in the mouth as unkindly as I am.

Anyway. Where was I?

Oh, yes. Rider. If I’m honest again, he’s rage and anger and a man who clearly has issues. His mother and sister were murdered, Dan, the sister being raped by six men in masks before she succumbs.
