[This is actually somewhat useful. John hadn't really thought of the idea of using some of their Fentora or the other narcotics on hand--thank you, Sherlock Holmes, drug addict--to help sedate the man.]
I think it might be challenging for me to convince him of anything. We've come to blows, sir. More than once. He also recently murdered someone very dear to me. Strong words were exchanged. ['I'll murder you,' words on John's part. As you do. Not that he seems to be able to do it now.]
We can try sedatives for now, but I'm not sure about that as a long-term solution. I know this is asking a hell of a lot, Mr. Pierce, but do you think you might be able to get a better read on him and be able to do anything to convince him if you spoke with him, in-person? I'd be there along with others to keep him physically under control, of course.
I'm not sure what I could do to compensate you for the trouble and the danger, but I'd be willing to do just about anything to stop this madman.
