This issue was too thought-provoking, and although he had a suspect in mind, he didn't feel that it was appropriate to disclose it.
Wallace Radcliff was unwilling to delve deeper into his thoughts and, shaking his head, he again looked at Alfred Garland, saying in a deep voice, "Right, that presentation..."
Alfred's expression upon mentioning this could only be described as spectacular, as if he was both excited and struck down, incredibly complex.
Facing the eager line of sight from The Ninth Institute's crowd, he moved his eyes around, and as his lips met, his voice was uncontrollably dry: "Ms. Quinlan..."
Seeing his expression, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Wallace Radcliff especially wanted to pry his mouth open and urge him to speak faster: "What happened to Ms. Quinlan, did she fail?"
Nathalie Quinlan's failure was within his expectations.
