[There it is. He flinches on his side, but... it's not as bad as he thought. Oh.]
Right. [He might sound bewildered for a moment. Like he just took a punch but it didn't hurt as much as he expected it to.]
No, that's not it. I'm not worried about your notes- Look, I shouldn't have read them. I've got several hundred agents working under me who specialize in espionage and surveillance around the world. I shouldn't have done a lot of things, but that one was just part of the job description. I can't apologize for that. I didn't know you weren't working for someone dangerous.
But I'm sorry for the way I acted. You have every right to be mad and I knew you were going to be. I should have said something then, but honestly you are such a goddamn good man it was like meeting a friend all over again. And I don't think I can live with disappointing another friend like that. So I'm sorry for putting you through Hell. It wasn't fair to you.
