Not all secrets are bad things, luckily. But I like to take an optimist's view.
Is there a reason you're so worried about addicts, Mr. Pierce? I've been in contact with the other doctors to discuss some of the issues with that and steps we can take.
[And damn, damn, triple damn.]
I thought he might still be alive at that point, Mr. Pierce. The Joker might well have kept it quiet if he'd clubbed the man and tied him up.
