the murderer! I'm just trying <strong>to</strong> expose Anarchists, <strong>be</strong>rk! Damn you, you<br />

can't <strong>do</strong> this <strong>to</strong> me! You can't trust anyone who says they saw me <strong>do</strong> it, so<br />

you can't say I did it!"<br />

I had <strong>to</strong> set my lips rigid <strong>to</strong> squelch a giddy smile. I almost wanted him <strong>to</strong> kill<br />

me on the spot, so that I could sit up again an hour later and make a<br />

testimony <strong>of</strong> his guilt in person. "Would you say the same thing under oath<br />

and under spell? I'm <strong>be</strong>tting Saros would."<br />

"Bugger. Can I at least take my stuff and give this place the laugh? Ol'<br />

Thil<strong>do</strong>n'll make sure you won't regret it."<br />

"Only if you can <strong>be</strong>at it out <strong>of</strong> here <strong>be</strong>fore I make it <strong>to</strong> Kel<strong>do</strong>r. I <strong>do</strong>n't make<br />

heinous crime? Do you have evidence?"<br />

"Thil<strong>do</strong>n did it. He had personal problems with Avil<strong>do</strong>n, and he was trying <strong>to</strong><br />

frame Saros for the crime. Execute him."<br />

He shook his head. There was never any satisfaction in condemning one <strong>of</strong><br />

your own, "I would never have <strong>be</strong>lieved it <strong>of</strong> Thil<strong>do</strong>n. I trust your<br />

investigation was thorough... and I trust you. Allow me <strong>to</strong> summon the<br />

guards."<br />

"Take your time."<br />
