Wow, Tom is a bad guy. His MO is fascinating, his story is capturing (the first story I am reading on this site to the very end), it's a mixture of intrigue, suspense, humor, care for Tom's well-being. I love that he cried for relief from the loop he was in, he felt relieved from the matrix of problem-solving thoughts natural to anyone doing something illegal and morally wrong (especially those who know that they are doing this in their hearts). I admire the guy, not the crime. He is really a great bad guy.
