He looked at Evelyn’s struggling image on the
screen. "Doctor. You're about to become a very public
example. A warning to anyone who dares to challenge
us."
He turned to his lead operative. "Prepare the
'demonstration.' I want it ready by morning. And
ensure O'Connell is watching. He needs to see what
happens to those who defy us."
Evelyn. The Looming Threat.
