Everyone is capable of killing but I have to admit that from what I have heard, he seems more capable than most. That is mostly hearsay, though. I believe he used to associate with the old Van He Vlad tends to think to be quite harsh on his opinions of people but I don't think he would resort to such drastic measures if the girl he didn't feel they were particularly warranted. And if Daniel also feels the same, I suppose there is good enough reason. I only hope that Shane will see it this way and not take a turn for the worst.
You're doing much already, still continuing to talk on the boards with people, and you're embarking on business ventures outside of the building. He hasn't completely silenced you nor trapped you. This is good. Beyond that... {...} We need to still try to find out who he is. As for your friend, it's a terrible shame that she's not seeing eye to eye on this issue. There could be two ways of going about it. Either pretend to let this issue drop between you and hope that she will drop her guard eventually, or stay firm on this issue and then carefully watch who she associates with as best as we can? Who is she Either way, he can't stay hidden for long.
