Well, that confirmed it. Whoever had been hired to attack him had given his mask to these robed figures -- and really, Ragdoll recognized cultists when he saw them, at least when they were being that obvious -- who had given it to Billy. Which might give credence to Deadshot's ridiculous idea that Billy had hired them, except for the way he snatched the mask away from them, cradling it -- and that it seemed to be the breaking point for whatever Billy was now allowing to happen.

They'd assumed for a while that Ragdoll had been the main, even the only, target, with the attempt on his life and all. It seemed what they really wanted was his mask, and his disappearance. Their real target had been William.

He rewound the tape to just before when the robed people showed up, and unfolded, holding the iPod towards her when she re-entered the room. "The ones in the robes. Cult members, I'll be bound."
