<strong>Name: </strong>Jack Harth<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Jack's Apartment<br/><strong>Wearing: </strong>Red t-shirt, blue denim jeans.<br/><strong>Tagging: </strong>Michael<br/><br/><strong>"Because I see no other alternatives; the only way to truly defend against a threat is to pose too much of a threat to it, to weed it out, or avoid it. As much as I hate to admit it, he's too crafty for a large group like us to avoid; and he's too cocksure to be dissuaded from his course of action. What's left, then?"<br/><br/>"We find a way to get rid of him, someone or something else gets to him, or we leave him alone to victimize us. What else can be done? Give me an alternative that works, and I'll gladly go with it."</strong>And Michael should be able to see something here; beyond the hate, which certainly factored into his decision making, their lay something else. He truly could not see another option; Jack really did see only one door, and if their were many, all he needed was to be made aware of them. But it would take another person to do that.<br/><br/><strong>"And no, I won't blame you. This isn't your fault. You shouldn't feel responsible for it, either. As for Elena fixing the cars, sure, she can, if we run to get the tools; and that's assuming he hasn't completely messed up the cars. Sugar can't be taken out of gas tanks, and cut brake lines can't just be stitched shut." </strong>Not that he knew what had been done, these were just some of the things he could think of to sabotage a car, and which could not be easily fixed.<br/><br/>He drank more of the water, then set it down, and turned his attention elsewhere: the food they got.  Doing something else would also do wonders to getting him to return to his fully calm state. It also kept him from showing a weakness in front of anyone else; how he couldn't really trust anyone else. It was a problem he's had for a long time, and which Elena had been helping him out with, even if she wasn't aware of it. But he's just been betrayed and abused one too many times for trust to be something easily given. That was also the reason why he always felt like he had to do everything; because, ultimately, he couldn't trust others to do it.<br/><br/><strong>"Anybody want something to drink? I have soda, juice,  and bottled water. And we have a lot of food, so if anybody wants to make a lunch order, I can get to it." </strong>
