Noble Lies
“It started with a phone call, one of his mid-level minions calling to tell him that a shipment had arrived the night before, as expected. The man was professional and business-like and as meekly subservient as the rest, and Jarin had thanked him, certain that the man was just trying to be efficient and responsible.
