[After some awkward fumbling with the PDA, the video is turned on, and Grimmer is revealed. The East German appears to be sitting on a bed in one of the apartments, and looks a little worse for wear. His hair is messy and slightly uncombed, and above all else, he looked exhausted

[Mighthaps be slightly intrigued by this information.]

Great...

I'm guessing you guys weren't made aware? This entire mess is courtesy of The Joker...as he might happily let you all know.

... Oh.

[glasgow_smilin]

What, that you're sorry you couldn't stop me and murdered a whole pile of 'innocent' people instead? Or was it something else? Come on, humor me.

[smilinggrimmer]

Well, that too. I'm very sorry about not throwing that grenade back in your face; as for those thugs...I'd hardly classify people who are willing to follow you as innocent.

[Grimmer's last memories before he blanked out was seeing The Joker and his thugs. He'd woken up when he was long outside of Credinta, with his clothes completely covered in blood. As such, Grimmer assumed that Steiner had slaughtered those thugs. The only reason why he was dressed in clean clothes now was because he'd gone rummaging through the abandoned apartments.]

No, I'd really appreciate it if you could give me my bag back. You can keep whatever you want; but most of it is my journalist research. It's not in English, and even if you could read it, I really can't see you getting much use out of it.

[Oh, the sarcasm.]

Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, you're sorry, we're all sorry, right? Give the boys a break, they're people too, you know!

[He rummages around in something off-camera.]

Bag... bag, bag, bag, bag... [He glances up.] You sure Short, White, and Sassy didn't take it? I misplaced a pair of gloves, too... probably isn't a good idea to trust me with your stuff from now on. [Friendly grin.]

[smilinggrimmer]

[Grimmer spent a long moment staring at the Joker, with a tired shocked 'I should have known this would happen' expression.]

Is that so...I guess this is my payment for escaping, huh?
...I hope you didn't drink that wine before you permanently lost my bag.

[Immediately after he said that, he pressed his palm onto his forehead and sighed. That was really the only insult he could manage; wishing the Joker didn't drink any good French wine before he lost the results of 8 years of Grimmer's hard research. How was he going to expose Kinderhiem 511 now?]
