The chloroform was starting to lose efficacy. Imagine how many times one would have to chloroform a ten year old for it to lose efficacy. So he and his… accomplice - John Watkins - decided to take me and the girl… [He looks inside the secret room.] She must have been here all that time. I… don’t know how much time. I only have fragments of memory. They decided to take us on a camping trip and finish us both off. The girl, it turned out, worked for Nicholas Endicott, the ultrawealthy powerbroker my sister later killed. She convinced my father to let her go in exchange for dirt on Endicott that he could use as leverage if he was caught. And then… I’ve had to extrapolate a little bit. I think John wanted to finish me off. He grabbed my arm and I stabbed him with a knife my father bought me. And I ran. My father says he just couldn’t bring himself to kill me, but I think that was the moment he felt that way. He saw a sign that I could be like him.
