[ She takes a breath. God knows she owes Thomas that much. So she starts, speaking as carefully and dispassionately as she can - not because she's afraid of emotion, but simply because the fear gas is still in her system, and she needs control. ]
I broke in earlier tonight - like I told you. I found Crane easily enough: I had the municipal maps of where the water hookups were to Lucifer's church, so I was looking through the bathrooms and found the one closest to where he was. I found him, and got him alone in a room, locked the door. I had my knife out - he hit me with fear gas, which I knew was a possibility, but I'd assumed that I'd react like I did before, just cut his throat and run. But my reaction this time was different. I saw him as something...sad and pathetic instead, and so I couldn't kill him. I got out, obviously, but without pulling him out with me.
