[He thinks to mention that no one can do Freddie's job without having her things, and Will would know, considering he took a good portion of her things. But that might sound wrong, and it might lead to a conversation that he has been trying to not have with too many people.]
You were an avid reader of Tattlecrime, too?
[He's careful to add that "too" on there—look, Kate, he's accepted and doesn't mind presenting his status as a follower of Tattlecrime, no need to stand on pretense. He has no room to judge.]
I follow Tattlecrime more attentively than I do the Network, of course I saw it. Seen it every day since. Keep thinking it'll pop up something new and she'll be drawing everyone's attention to it in the next 10 minutes.
[There have been harsher, it's all right. Part of dealing with Baltimore is knowing the natures and dangers of the beasts all around, he's not going to be offended by a less than pleasant take on Freddie Lounds. Desperation is a far cry from stupidity. Even predators get desperate. It's all good.]
Well, if it does, make sure to have someone [here, she types "like Skye check it out," but she has to backspace, as Skye is gone] check it out for IP addresses and the like.
Look, I know I haven't been the most sensitive about this, and I'm sorry. I guess focusing on this new mystery is easier than that.
It's fine, Kate. Really. I'd rather people be honest about Freddie and what sort of person they thought she was than trip up trying to be polite. I don't think there's anything anyone here could say that would be as insensitive as some of what's been said about her at home, either.
She's just one of those kinds of people. Nothing to be sorry about. Freddie never was.

[It's a harsh take on Freddie in the wake of everything, but it's the truth. There's no need to hide it now.]

I'll keep an eye open and let you know if I see anything, okay?

[He'd say he appreciates it but he's already said that, and even though it's true...overkill isn't what he's going for. Communication, so difficult.]
If there's anything I can do in return, let me know. Officially or unofficially.
