    The directors, including Frederic, stared at him in rm.


    "The capital investment..." Sweat beaded on Thaddeus''s forehead as the world spun around him. A wave of nausea and a bone-deep chill wracked his body.

    With a heavy thud, he copsed forward.


    "Mr. Thaddeus!" Dennis cried out, reaching for him, but it was toote.


    Everyone jumped to their feet. Frederic, panicked, yelled, "Call an ambnce!"


    Thaddeusy on the floor, his body twitching faintly. In thest moment before he lost consciousness, he saw it clearly-a dark, sinister smile slowly forming on Chad''s gentle, refined face. The sight was like a knife to his heart.

    A resolute fire lit Evadne''s eyes. "No. I''ll go."


    "Ms. Evadne!" Jason pleaded anxiously.


    "The situation inside could beplicated. Jason, I admit you''re an excellent assistant, but youck experience in this kind of infiltration. I''m the better choice."


    "But you''re still not fully recovered..."


    "It doesn''t matter. I can handle it. Now, go and get me the things I asked for. I''m making my move tonight."
