...Subject: Benjamin Smith, kidnapped by [redacted] at 11:33 AM. Family unaware. [redacted] unaware. Proceed with procedure P0977, "[redacted]". Type B and above personnel only. Meet Agent #436 at [redacted] with [redacted].

Becomes an unknowing motive in the story.
Who you'll eventually kill off and leave Corinne a horrible wreck and seeking solace in someone else
AND THAT'S WHEN TRAFGUY STEPS IN AND
you cheeky bastard I'll destroy you
