"I swindled an idiot," Felix explained nonchalantly when he saw Lila eye the cage. "Long story, anyway. You'd be surprised. Like I said, Simms literally tortured half the house. Turned fire hoses on people, dragged them into private rooms and beat the shit out of them. Dragged them out in front of people who give a shit about them and did even worse. I'm pretty sure he did the systematic finger breaking thing on Cecilia either before or after breaking her ribs and her face. He taped your favorite nutjob to a chair and clobbered him half to death, then paraded him around like a trophy. Then he was about to poison everybody, presumably sans us when Tobias skewered him. He fucked a lot of people up, and a lot of those people are still here. The paranoia you saw when you were here is nothing compared to what happened after. If even a fraction of these idiots think he might come back, things are gonna get interesting around here."
He shrugged. "As far as shit you can't answer, maybe you didn't actually get to talk to him all that much. Maybe for you it was just a few days, and he was conked out for most of it. The important thing is that the last you knew he was alive and on the mend. I'll get you up to date the best I can, but if you can't answer things, sometimes the best way to lie to people is to be honest. Nobody can blame you for not knowing everything." He raised a hand. "You obviously don't have to do any of this shit, but we'll never get another opportunity like this."
