It is unfortunate that you believed the fire story, it was a failed attempt on my life and I have spent the better part of 3 days dealing "justice" to the perpetrators. I am a bit tired so forgive me if I ramble a bit, 72 hours of no sleep added with the adrenaline rush of making your would-be assailants beg for mercy can take a lot out of you.
Please understand that it will cost a fee of $100 for my contact information. After all the trouble i have had, this is to protect me. I understand you are just trying to do your job, but as many things in life, my contact information comes with a price.
You may leave the $100 in small bills in an envelope beneath seat 5, row h section 107 at victory field this friday evening prior to the start of the game. Do not linger or wait for me to arrive, I am armed and do not take kindly to strangers accosting me. To do so would be at your peril.
Once I have recieved the money and am sure noone is following me (I am trained in the art of covert surveillance as well as a great many other things) I will then email you from a secure proxy how you may contact me further. I will allow your emaill address to send me messages only for the next 24hrs, after that, your emails will go to my spam filter and I will record the sending IP addresses and employ means to find YOU.
If this is all too much for you to handle, you can attempt to find me on your own, but I must stress again, I am armed and I DO NOT LIKE STRANGERS.
Thank you.
