The Elders
“Martin says calmly, looking at me, “there are snipers hidden in the trees. You will be shot if you show us any hostility. Trying to Split to make anyone here Inert will be interpreted as hostile.”
Ignoring the hammering of my heart, I stay quiet while Kate just stands there, tapping her foot on the grass as though she’s bored.
George says, “Martin, this is overkill. With Kate beside him, our unarmed guest poses no threat.” “You think I have nothing better to do than to be here?” Martin says. “I... have my orders.”
