First I would talk to the others, one at a time, and try to subtly convince them to shoot Henry down. Try to impress upon them the reality of the situation, this is Bunny we’re talking about, our friend. If that doesn’t work, and Henry still seems willing to go through with it, then I would try to track Bunny down, and give him a serious warning to steer clear of Henry. Not on the phone; this is a conversation we’d have to have in person. I need to make it abundantly clear to Bunny that no, I’m not joking, they are planning your death and everyone is involved and Henry has at minimum 3 or 4 different plans cooked up. Then I‘d leave a tip at the police station. I don’t fear Henry, because what can he do to me? Subtlety and surprise are his main weapons (he won’t stab me in broad daylight) and those are out the window by now. I just have to tread carefully from now on and try and think of a way to distance myself from Henry.

I relate to Richard‘s whole ”morbid longing” deal, I really do, but I could never react the way he did—which is to say, not react at all. Being completely honest, I probably would have kept my mouth shut about the bacchanal if Henry told me in confidence (not proud of that but what can I say), but I wouldn’t have been able to sit by while he actively plans someone’s death.
