Good As Dead
“Mid-afternoon on the third day, she would normally have had some sense of how events were likely to pan out. At the very least she would have felt a little more … connected, as though her own role in proceedings was part of an agreed and well-orchestrated strategy.

She sat in the small room behind the stage with coffee and sandwiches and reminded herself that she could slide back in behind a nice tidy desk any time she wanted ‘normal’. That it was its unpredictab...ility that had attracted her to hostage negotiation in the first place.
