Alt-text: "The gist of panel five changes dramatically if you think of 'organizing skills' as an euphemism for something."
Well ... this is kind of a tricky one (at least it is supposed to be) ... can you give Book a pass for not wanting to be the next one face down in the river or is he basically just saying "I was just following orders"?
Of course I still left it kinda vague (deliberately) how much exactly he has known for how long, and in how much danger he could have reasonably expected to be if he tried to go to the authorities ... that may be a bit too much to go into at this point. Kat also seems to be not so sure anymore as to how angry she wants to be ...
