If Carter revealed those photos, Lake and Anna's reputations would be utterly destroyed.

Luke's hands trembled as he finished gathering the scattered photographs.

The driver replied calmly, "Mr. Bolton, have you forgotten? Roy was injured in the Chedor conflict and has just returned to the country. He's still recovering.
