If anyone tries to free Robyn, you will have crossed me.

Albero has reason to keep his promise right now, and he doesn't like people that cross his path, you should have realized that by now. Useless interference might not only cause her harm but kill her and harm all of us. Let Albero think that we're considering it. It will buy all of us time.

He's going to go after us regardless of whether any of us 'interfere' or not. Maybe he'll let Robyn go, but I doubt it. I'm not going to take that chance!

[Yeah, someone's pissed the hell off and really had just about enough of this Mafia stuff.]

[siesinddasessen]

I would say "it's your funeral" if it was only yours, which it isn't.

The chance of Albero ordering a hostage killed when someone tries to break her out is high. Start trying to commit suicide when the girl is out of the line of fire. She's only learning to defend herself, it would be a pity if all the effort went to the drain for nothing.

If he is even remotely intelligent, he should know his "offer" will have little grounds unless he keeps his word in this instance.

So, more likely than not, she WILL be released.

[siesinddasessen]

Exactly. Not that any of his words will hold much meaning in the long run, but for now they mean that he wants more time which gives us more time.

How many bucks that at least one of the idiots that call themselves her friends will try to bust her out and kill her and perhaps themselves in the process, leaving all of us in an even less favourable position than before?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Well, I wasn't planning a jailbreak, as much fun as it might be.

[siesinddasessen]

Fun is overrated when the alternative is living with less trouble.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... Hrmph. He has exactly until Robyn's freed. Then, he's dead.

[siesinddasessen]

Fine by me, that way you'll at least not be directly responsible for her death.

There will be retaliation, though, unless you manage to kill him and his whole leading circle, so you better make it worth it and don't die uselessly.

[he cannot believe he is even reading this.]

And no interference might kill her anyway! How are we supposed to trust what a mafia thug says? He could be jerking us around and planning to kill her no matter what!

We can't just back off and let her die.

[siesinddasessen]

And what would he gain by killing her anyway?

[ursoreckless]

we can
look, you can go through walls and ghost her out, but are you sure that he doesn't already know that?
can you be sure he hasn't got an extra edge we don't know about?

someone of his position cannot afford to go against his word. he is the top dog and the top dog has to stick more by rules than his goons and he will make sure they'll stick to what he says unless we do something to push him
we don't push, we get her out of the way and then we scramble back let him think we're following the rules
and we plan

Danny.

The only reason he'd kill Robyn is if he was incredibly stupid, or if we do 'something stupid.'

But...!

[Rakka couldn't even type, she was so upset.]

She could die anyways! If we do nothing... who knows what will happen!

[siesinddasessen]

If we go nothing, the chance of her dying goes down.

Albero in this case wins more by keeping his word than breaking it, and he isn't a kind of man who would go for the smaller win margin.

Unless there are factors that we can't see from here, she'll only die if we provoke him into having her killed in reaction to having been directly attacked.

[ursoreckless]

Mob might be shady as all fuck but they at least gotta make an appearance of keeping their word. So they'll probably release her to show how good they are at their word, but I'd be very careful what might be tailing her.

[siesinddasessen]

Nothing good, probably.

Do you have any specifics? [Shou operates on a different level of the shady underbelly of the city; he might have different information.]

If they get attacked, nothing will hold them to their word. Whatever they have might see action then and there in that case.

He's going to kill her like he killed Karson and Mrs. Hunter are you fucking insane WE HAVE TO BLOW HIM UP.

[wirsinddiejager]

Octavia calm the fuck down. well blow him up after hes released her.

[wirsinddiejager]

jfc even I know better than to try rushing in before theyve let her go. though at least people are finally getting that we need to do something about them.

[siesinddasessen]

Then stop your girlfriend from being an idiot.

Have your plans evolved from "kill all of them"?

text;

[waltharius]

I think I agree. But I can see the other side too... they're just panicked and not 100% rational right now.

text;

[siesinddasessen]

And that is a reason to let them call the shots now?

That they're too emotional to think?

[video]

[peacefulwinter]

Even if he's going to keep his promise, it's not just h-him in the city. Anyone else could decide that she's not worth the trouble. Of course I'm considering it.

Is there any other reason he'd keep that promise, aside from that he needs his word to have value?

text;

[siesinddasessen]

Aside from wanting to retain a secure position.

Let me see.

She's not worth the trouble of killing and having to cover it up?

[dead_black_eyes]

[Possibly the hollowest voice you've ever heard]

You're right. Having seen a rescue attempt already go very wrong... I have to agree with you. Though the natural reaction after seeing a frightened young girl is to want to go rescue her, it'll be a disaster if we try to force this to our advantage.

text;

[siesinddasessen]

Just like the natural reaction to seeing your child drown is to jump in right after it, even if it's freezing or you can't swim, and then you both drown. Instead of phoning for help or finding a long stick.

[Completely agreeing. Also wow boy, you sound like you're having a really shitty time there, she'll make a note of it.]

At least you've learned that now?

text

[sjokolade]

And how do we know that he'll keep his word? Of course we all want to go rescue her but I also see that just suddenly going in won't do much of anything either!

But...there's got to be another way here!

text

[siesinddasessen]

He has no interest in killing her, simple as that.

Albero can't afford to lose face, which he would if he makes a promise like this and then doesn't keep it without justification. Some numbered attacking him now would be a justification.

And killing Robyn wouldn't gain him anything. She's a small fish.

Written

[ghostly_heiress]

I hate this, but it's true.

He has a lot more to gain by keeping his promise, and far too much to lose to break it. If he kills her after that, it becomes us having a personal vendetta and that would be incredibly stupid.

[wonk]

hes already killed ppl hes not afraid 2 start personal vendettas

[gogoghostpowers]

[posted about an hour after his first comment...]

Okay, just look at this message I just got. Come on, guys, she needs our help!

[purestambition]

You wouldn't know a trap if it were outright labeled as such, would you?

[nowi_wins]

Like, I don't think anyone cares about crossing a jerk who wants us to abandon a friend!

[siesinddasessen]

How about crossing one of the people who use their brain in this situation?
