“days I will report back to you that I have accomplished what I set out to do. Now I must go. My plane is on time, a miracle in Rome.” I sat waiting for his approval and dismissal. He studied me as if he were a human lie detector. Satisfied, he let me rise and walk toward the door unimpeded. Finally, a clean escape was in sight. As he escorted me down the long marble hall floor to the door he said, “Enzo is waiting in the car and will accompany you. It’s not that I don’t trust you, he is there to keep you focused and aid your plan.”
― K.J. McGillick, One: Rage Vengeance Murder

“Veritas quae liberat”
