Killian's troubled expression should disturb me, and it does, a little. He obviously didn't know Lacroix was living with Meshango. I wouldn't care, except I hate that woman. She turned Declan against his own brother. Why else would Declan kill Bronson, then himself? She tricked him somehow. Now I hate her with my whole being.
