Payback
Should death do us part, as it were, I owed Fred a talk about us.
And anyway, the Thorne payback dead end didn't leave me much else to do.
If found Fred at his place, with his "spiritual guide", who introduced himself as Saint-Germain. Either this guy was several hundred years old and very well preserved, or that was an assumed name.
Before I could even suggest a private talk, Fred told me Saint-Germain knew all about us.
... Ah.
