Atticus stared at Martha's crumpled form on the ground before he shifted his gaze to the intruder who just committed the atrocious murder.
"Byron," he said, a touch of surprise imminent in his voice. "It's you."
"A bunch of traitors," Clad head to toe in heavy military gear, Byron Thorne leveled his weapon at Atticus. "After everything I have done for the Consortium. How dare you all go behind my back and betray me in the worst manner possible."
Atticus blinked at him. He couldn't raise his arms in surrender even if he wanted to, thanks to Julian's amazing handiwork.
"I don't know what you are talking about," Atticus declared, his every word a carefully crafted performance. "Look at me, Byron. Do I look like I just betrayed someone?"
