Though Bishop left, the coldness in the conference room lingered. It even grew stronger the atmosphere  became grim and frightening. 

Director Downs had been paralyzed with fright. He looked at August and pleaded with a trembling voice, 

"President Adams, please forgive me. I was put up into this by Mr. Bishop..."

Hearing this, August slowly landed his gaze on the inner room.
