That way they can all feather together in one place and plot out of sight of prying eyes. Why not? Doesn't da big cheese OWE them bigly for going to jail because of what they did for him? Of course he does but also of course he is a well-known deadbeat cheapskate who stiffs those he owes. Part of his disarming charm. Right? He can con you and you're gonna love him even more for it! That old black magic has you in its spell. That old black magic that you know so well. Those icy fingers up and down your spine. That same old magic when his eyes meet thine? Yeah we know. You can't quit him.
