Checkmate
I've outsmarted him. He thinks I'm dead, the poor fool. But that's not enough. I have to show Phillip Finder that he has met his match.
I've waited eight years for this. I know his thoughts, his moves, his strategies. And most importantly, I know his weakness. He and his friends are, in the end, merely pawns to me. Predictable, easily outmaneuvered. Expendable.
Every move he makes from now on is one that I have allowed him. He will play to the best of his ability, but there is only one way this game can end: the death of Phillip Finder.
