“So, wait. Now I’m confused. What about the senator’s son, the guy that fell? The Olmsteds hired you to investigate their son’s death and you end up investigating the senator? Swamp, you’re acting really weird. The man’s paying your fees. I don’t follow the logic.”

“It does little good to regret a choice. So often people say, “If only I had known,” implying they would’ve acted differently in a given situation. It is true that desires of the moment can blind one’s sight of the future. Revenge is not as sweet as the adage claims. Yet who could pass a chance to taste it? And if the chance were allowed to slip by, would the fool regret his lack of action? ”
