mr. kessler, i am mr. collins of the american embassy here in grosvenor square. both mr. goodman's parents and your parents have been notified of your injuries and everything's in order.
mr. goodman's body has been air-freighted back to new york for burial and your parents have wired funds for your stay in the hospital until you are well enough to fly home.
i realize how upsetting this must be for you, mr. kessler, but please try to refrain from hysterics.
now, mr. kessler, try not to excite yourself. everything has been arranged. i shall come back to check on your progress and send a report to your parents. the police have requested to interview you and i have given them permission to do so.
these dumb-ass kids never appreciate anything you do for them.
