If this thing goes south, you gotta promise me you’ll follow these instructions.

1. Take the SIM card out of your phone and destroy it.

2. Retrieve the briefcase from underneath the 8th Street Pier, but do NOT open it.

3. Find a pay phone—somewhere you’ve never been before—and call this number. Ask for Malachi. Malachi will know what to do.

4. Burn it all. Burn everything.

5. Forget you ever met me, you hear? I’m nothing. No one. I’m a ghost. See you in the next life, kid.
