"I’ve never seen anything like it," he says, his chins jiggling with the shaking of his round, balding head "Except with organization leaders, like with Vonnegut I can’t find a shred of anything on this wootta say that I feel a little inadequate I-I’ on anyone I’ll understand if you want to f-fireto fire you, Woodard," Victor says, still looking at the screen, standing tall in front of it in his black suit "And besides, if I had to relieve you of your duties, it would unfortunately not be with a pink slip"

Woodard ss uneasily; anxiety filling his eyes andface

We start brainstor back to what Woodard said earlier "I don’t see how anyone can not have some kind of trail"

"And how does she know so much?" Dorian says

"She is not a leader," Victor says with a trace of uncertainty "At least I doubt she is"

"OK, what do we know about her other than nothing?" I ask, pacing the floor I stop and look back at the "I mean let’s just assume that e think we know about her is true: her father cut off the tip of her finger and it’s a sensitive subject; she has a conscience despite wanting us to think she doesn’t; she’s very skilled not only in fighting and ot herself out of the cuffs without anyone seeing her--she’s an escape artist"

Silence fills the rooin to churn But none of us co us just a few o," Dorian says, "for her to know about ent doith Gustavsson and Seraphina Unless she’s getting this information from someone on the inside, I honestly don’t see how she’d know about any of that"

"I agree," Victor says "It is believable that she could obtain inforh many different means over several years She could have broken into The Order’s files--James Woodard can do that, I don’t see why she couldn’t pull it off But to know anything about Fredrik and Seraphina--"

"Then who could be the mole?" I ask "If there is one"

"Time will tell," Victor says and leaves it at that

We call it a night just before ht and Victor has men take in a small cot for Nora to sleep on And a bucket for her to piss in, co that room to be escorted to a restrooo inside, topast us like she did with the cuffs--this ti it--and to make sure she doesn’t kill them She’s cooperative and doesn’t attack anyone or try to escape But then again, I believe her when she said before that she wouldn’t even be here if she didn’t want to be It worries Victor too, but he won’t say it aloud

"What if there are more people like her?" I ask as I undress in our roo "It scares ers break apart the last button of his dress shirt and he slips it over hisit carefully over the back of a chair

"That will be the only thing keeping her alive after she’s told us where to find Dina Gregory and the others"

He walks toward the bed, his bare feet ing loosely over the tops of the behind onna kill her when this is all over?"

"Yes," he says, breaking apart the button on his pants "We will need to find out what else she knows first, and who is in on this with her We will use her the sa us, and once we have e need, I will eliminate her"

Eliminate Victor still, every now and then, talks like he still fills contracts for The Order under Vonnegut It bothers me sometimes, how he slips back into that cold and calculatedI know firsthand how hard it is to strip one’s self co only my black lacey panties Victor steps out of his dress pants and his boxer-briefs and stands naked and fully erect at the foot of the bed I can’t think about sex right now I mean…OK, I can think about it, and it’s difficult not to with hiht--there’s too ain, that’s precisely why he’s all for it--sex is Victor’s escape fro else And I’m more than happy to let him take his frustrations out on me

"And what about Fredrik?" I ask The bed moves beneath me as he makes his way on top of it "Are you sure you can kill hiins to slip my panties off with both hands "Yes, I can kill hi a trail down the backs of asp when I feel his fingers inside of ed by a cruel but blissful shiver Oh onna die before he makes me come And thenhis way up toward my mouth His warm lips fall softly on mine and his kiss stealsthe kiss shortly after My eyes roll into the back of ers continue to explore me below "But I will do what I have to do"

It never takes Victor long to make me wet It never takes him much effort to make me ache with need, to make my insides quiver with anticipation, frustration

My eyelids break apart slowly and with difficulty; hs clasp around his chiseled waist

"What do you think…"--I shudder and th slowly and deeply inside ofGod--"…think she wants you to…confess, Victor?" My words sound hs tremble around his firently as he rocks his hips against ressive abandon;my nails into the skin on his back
