They had mistaken my acquiescence for submission wh In that case, I had no choice but to show them I could still sting if I wanted.

"Let go," I barked again.
He did not obey and instead said, "I wasn't blaming you or anything. I just... wanted to let you know." "What for? To make up for your slimy actions?"
