Maybe they were planning on running a ring . . . of child prostitution? One never knows . . .
I think the whole sordid thing is a perfect illustration of why one can't trust the Bostonian Drunkard as a friend.
Here, this guy, the weapons expert, "made" the Bostonian Drunkard, and in fact wrote 84% of the "best-selling book" that the Bostonian Drunkard claims as his own; the "best-selling book" that catapulted the Bostonian Drunkard into fame and fortune.
But when the weapons expert evolved into a child molester, and needed friends, friends to stand by him, the Bostonian Drunkard walked away.
Sheer ingratitude; what goes around comes around, apparently hasn't occurred to the Bostonian Drunkard.
