it was a dark and cloudy night, down by the docks.
eva peron sat alone in a room.
perhaps, she thought, there is something to be said for both sides.
she got up and put her hat and coat on and went outside.
quietly she closed the door behind her..
she was to report to headquarters immediately.
so this was how it ended.
the headquarters building was dark.
there were no guards outside.
the front door opened easily.
eva eschewed the elevator and walked up the three flights of stairs to lord halifax’s’s office.
lord halifax was alone in his office.
his desk was bare, except for a plain white envelope in its center.
take this letter, lord halifax told eva, to the person we were speaking of earlier.
eva picked up the letter. it was very light, and she suspected it might be empty.
i could use a drink, she said.
very well.
lotd halifax’s coat hung on a rack beside the desk.
he reached over and took a flask out of the pocket of the coat and handed it to eva.
eva took a drink from the flask.
the fiery liquid went down her throat like a thousand flaming amazon rivers.
it never ends, does it, she said as she handed the flask back.
so it would seem, lord halifax agreed.
