Proceed.

If the Carnifax felt that his deception was in danger of being penetrated he'd be utterly ruthless. As long as he felt Lara remained in the dark over his work then she'd be safe.

If there's a good story there then go for it.

I doubt that Graham's going to give up until he gets some answers about a major breakout at the Safe.
