CHAPTER 56
— ARE YOU OK, JOHN?
— Aside from my bruised ego, yes I am.
— What the fuck, the girl took the key.
— Now I really feel ashamed.
— It wasn't your fault, she's a professional killer.
— Me too.
— No, John, you're a professional hero...
— NOLAN, THE GIRL just disappeared...
— It was Tesla's Philadelphia project, that's how they managed to break into our headquarters and steal the blueprints.
John looked very sullen.
— She was in our hands, Charles, I made the biggest mistake of my life.
— John... this girl just can't be expected to get her alive, she's escaped us twice already... they're the kind of people we can only deal with when they're dead, I know your code of ethics on that, but the enemy is another.
— I promise I won't make the same mistake a second time, Charles.
— I know that, my friend.
John looked at Tammy and for a brief moment he felt sorry for her and she thought the same thing about him.
