To: The Anonymous Benefactor

Your assassin has failed,
And she won't
Be a problem for me
Anymore.
Your syringe broke too.
Would you kindly send another?

It seems you have made a friend, how lovely!
You should invite them to dinner so we can meet them!

I appreciate most
That there will be
No investigation.
The law must have
Much more pressing matters
Like patting themselves on the back
For a job never done.

Niko,

You live down the hallway from myself and the Magistrate. If you need something investigated urgently, just KNOCK ON THE DOOR. Or yell through the cat flap. Do I need to install message tubes? Will that help?

Otherwise, accept that there is some delay time between someone posting vague things about benefactors on the Dragon's Claw Inn notice board, and a report being filed for further investigation. Especially since our guard normally assigned to deal with the posting board seems to have vanished (another investigation to be opened), judging by the amount of anonymous messages that have gone up.

I assume you kept the syringe? Or perhaps something remains of the would-be assassin?

Well this explains that little outburst.
Are you in trouble cousin, you oft hold yourself higher than you stand.
Outside eyes can see this namely,
We say this not in jest, or malice, but in concern.
Don't go so high you reach the noose.

Now off to go and die, as you would put it.
We hope you and Angel enjoy the tea we sent.
It appears friendly gestures only fester...

Niko,

You can literally send a message to my mind, and I can put it on both Bob and Lois' desks. Please do so.

Baronial Clerk.
