"He didn't tell you?" he asked, "Several members of the Hellfire Club were gearing up to stage a financial attack on my family. And I've now confirmed one of them is connected to the Jorogumo cult I was warned about. You... really won't like who was holding the device for her."
That was when he went over following the trail suggested by Hellfire member Henry Hereford's recent construction efforts straight into Melpomene's human trafficking operation.
"I was lost as to what his possible connection to her could be and it hit me sometime after she denied he was just a brainwashed puppet. His shift in business activities lines up way too well with her escape with Drew Burke. I strongly suspect the actual Henry Hereford is dead."
"Bell has... very particular notions about what she does to the people she uses her powers on. Even the slaves she'd take issue with calling them 'brainwashed' or 'puppets.'"
"I'll agree that there may be some degree of Stockholm Syndrome with Burke, in spite of our best efforts to help him heal, but we can't jump to conclusions here. Whatever you saw is whatever Bell wanted you to see."
"About the people she uses her powers on... I managed to help an anti-slavery crusader Bell had been 'convincing' that she was helping confront the truth. It was so against her nature that she managed to fight the suggestion and help me escape."
