Maddox walked in quickly. The moment he saw Sierra, he asked bluntly, “Do you know what Johnathan is doing?”

“What do you mean?” Sierra replied calmly.

Maddox pressed his lips together. “Several departments see–him as valuable. He’s invested a lot of money in the country.”

“So what you’re saying is, as long as there’s money involved, any betrayal of conscience is fair game?”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“Then what if I told you he was targeting us?”
