[Likewise, Jack's response is entirely anticipated-- it'd be an act of stupidity to admit to anything here, and Jack never has struck him as anything less than intelligent. He can't be, to have managed the things he's done. Least of all having stolen expensive (dangerous) equipment and got away with it. That doesn't make it any less frustrating, and once again Giovanni is reminded of just how securely his hands are tied.
The use of present tense here is something, 'I know the kid', but not nearly enough to cast aspersions on Jack's name. At least, none that would stick. Particularly not coming from a glorified attack dog such as himself.
More than that though, it's the rest that gets under his skin, opens something black and ugly in him because kinda his choice to get the hell out-- there's no way he could have succeeded on his own, but it's more than that. There's some truth in it. Heine always had talked about getting them out. Them. Plural.
And yet.]
You know him. That's interesting, considering what the official reports have to say. And perhaps it was his own choice, but you saw how we were kept back then. There was never a chance of him making it out without assistance.
But no matter. Call it jealousy, if you will. Even a dog can perceive favouritism, Mr Marten. Haha.
Besides. Saying I want you dead isn't quite fair. As if I would think such a thing.
[And there's truth in that. He doesn't want Jack dead. he wants to be able to kill him, himself.]
