“Marcus Bartz wants to speak with you. Now. In fact, he’s waiting outside for my signal to come in and see you. I told you this visit isn’t a courtesy. He’s very interested in knowing why you spared his life,” Frederick said firmly.

On the one hand, he had let Marcus live; on the other, he was still complicit in the massacre of the rest of the Bartz family. The question loomed large: what the hell was Marcus supposed to do with this man?

The visit to Theodore had provided clarity. Marcus didn’t like the answer, but if he wanted to complete his revenge, Theodore was a critical piece of the puzzle.

If he discovers you, it won’t be me who finishes you off. Clear?”

“Bartz, I don’t think letting me live is the right call–I want that to be clear. But I’ll help you get close to Levett and his circle. The rest is on you,” Theodore said, his voice steady and resolute.

“Do you know the Palmers?” Marcus asked.

“I’ve heard of them. Catherine took care of you, didn’t she?” Theodore replied knowingly.
