I owe my friend Benjamin an apology.
Sorry, pal, I didn't mean to say that you were locked up with your mouth taped shut. That was obviously over-exaggerating! I know that sarcasm and the written word often do not convey the correct response.
Benjamin is not mouth taped or locked, he's in a situation where there is a dilemma and I saw his side, my side, and the problem as one thing. It isn't. What he has to deal with is something that many of us don't understand, but have to confront in an investigation like ours.
You did a great thing and I'm sorry to you, your parents, and your siblings, but I still do have to do what I can to save lives and keep people safe from "disappearing". I just want him to know that I get what the problem is and hope we can move through it without any further incidents. In the meantime, be yourself. You are the only person that will deal with the story of your life in the end. I think you are much better equipped than I was saying.
Please help keep me safe from harm, I need you still.
