The Oath
“Waiting for him there was the tall and thin figure of Portola’s administrator, Michael Andreotti, who wanted a private word with him. They walked silently together down one long hallway, then took the elevator to the ground floor, where Andreotti led the way into an empty conference room next to his own office in the admin wing, and then closed the door behind them.
By this time, Kensing had a good idea of what was coming, but he asked anyway. “So what’s this about?”
There was no love lost betw...een the two men, and the administrator wasted no time on niceties. “I’m afraid that the board has decided to place you on leave for the time being.”
“I don’t think so. They can’t do that. I’ve got a contract.”
Andreotti more or less expected this response. He had the paperwork on him, and he handed over the letter. “It’s not my decision, Doctor. As I said, the board has decided.”
Kensing snorted derisively. “The board. You mean Ross. Finally seeing his chance.”
Andreotti felt no need to respond.MoreLess
