Oh, so what of it? Perhaps there's no way to contain your little cat [yes, she knows he's here...], but I can cause all sorts of problems for you. These same captors have given me charge of the police department. I could have you locked away if that's what I wished. Or would you prefer to meet the Count's fate?
