Peter,
I'm sorry I had to run. I hope that's what you were trying to tell me, but if it wasn't please know that it was one of the hardest choices I ever had to make. I told you, I had a life in New York with you and El and Sara... I didn't want to leave and that's exactly why I had to.
I overheard Kramer telling you his plan, when you told him you thought I should serve out the rest of my sentance. I understand why you said what you did, and I was grateful when you said I had the right to choose who I am, but there's one thing I still don't understand; why did you say that? If I wanted to keep up a life of crime, that would just mean more work for you and a slim chance of a deal when you caught me- and yes, I know you would. In the end.
I've done a lot of things that I can't take back, but I feel like I've helped weigh out the bad with the good I was able to do working for you. And you gave me one thing I never had a lot of. Family. And for that, and the deal, I'll never be able to thank you enough. I'm sorry I couldn't say good-bye in person. And I'm sorry that this will most likely be the last you hear from me unless you are told of an unlikely arrest.
Thanks for the deal,
Neal
