Martin knew exactly how the man felt. The girl should be put out of their misery. But the Regus was wrong. She had come through, however late it may be. "I am not a historian, sir. My expertise lies not in strategy. I leave that to you. Give me a task and I will see it done. The darker the better. As always."
Martin missed the days of hunting in the shadows. It was why he'd taken this job in the first place. He sincerely hoped that the Regus thought he had failed - all the talk of falling upon one's sword.
Martin sighed. "But the girl may be late in information, but she had found it. She will not reveal it to me without you. She claims to have walked into Ascendancy's home and taken proof."
Martin pushed the folder he'd not read yet over to the Regus. "Her report. But she has information she can only speak as I'm to understand it. And I know not what proof she bears."
Martin had underestimated the girl. But he was worried she was keeping too much too close to the chest. He would do the same in her shoes. Her life was expendable - more so than others. And she knew it. She made her self useful. Survival was her goal at all times. She would turn coat the moment better odds were in her favor. He was certain of this.
