There
will
be
no
need
to
revisit
that
particular
conversation
,
"
said
Bancroft
stiffly
.
He
steepled
his
fingers
.
"
You
are
aware
,
I
suppose
,
that
the
security
camera
footage
you
base
your
assumptions
on
could
be
faked
very
easily
by
anyone
with
access
to
newstape
images
of
me
.
"
"
Yes
,
I
am
.
"
I
’
d
watched
Irene
Elliott
do
exactly
that
only
forty
-
eight
hours
previously
.
Easy
wasn
’
t
the
word
.
After
the
virus
run
,
it
had
been
like
asking
a
concert
total
body
dancer
to
encore
with
stretching
exercises
.
I
’
d
barely
had
time
to
smoke
a
cigarette
while
she
did
it
.
"
But
why
would
anyone
bother
?
A
distractor
,
to
tinsel
me
off
course
,
assuming
of
course
that
some
wrong
turn
would
have
me
sniffing
around
the
ruins
of
a
derelict
Richmond
mall
in
the
first
place
.
Come
on
,
Bancroft
,
get
real
.
The
fact
I
was
out
there
in
the
first
place
proves
the
validity
of
that
footage
.
And
in
any
case
,
those
images
aren
’
t
the
basis
for
anything
.
They
just
confirm
what
I
’
d
already
worked
out
,
which
is
that
you
killed
yourself
to
avoid
viral
contamination
of
your
remote
stack
.
"
"
That
is
a
quite
remarkable
leap
of
intuition
to
make
after
only
a
six
-
day
investigation
.
"
"
Blame
Ortega
,
"
I
said
lightly
,
though
Bancroft
’
s
enduring
suspicion
in
the
face
of
unpleasant
facts
was
beginning
to
worry
me
.
I
hadn
’
t
realised
he
would
take
so
much
wearing
down
.
"
She
’
s
the
one
who
put
me
onto
the
right
track
.
She
wouldn
’
t
wear
the
murder
theory
from
the
start
.
She
kept
telling
me
you
were
too
tough
and
smart
a
Meth
motherfucker
to
let
anyone
kill
you
.
Quote
,
unquote
.
And
that
brought
me
back
to
the
conversation
we
had
here
a
week
ago
.
You
told
me
I
am
not
the
kind
of
man
to
take
my
own
life
,
and
even
if
I
was
,
I
would
not
have
bungled
it
in
this
fashion
.
If
it
had
been
my
intention
to
die
,
you
would
not
be
talking
to
me
now
.
Envoys
have
total
recall
,
those
were
your
exact
words
.
"
I
paused
and
set
down
my
glass
,
searching
for
the
fine
edge
of
deceit
that
always
lies
right
up
against
the
truth
.
"
All
this
time
,
I
’
ve
been
working
on
the
assumption
you
didn
’
t
pull
the
trigger
because
you
weren
’
t
the
type
to
commit
suicide
.
I
ignored
all
the
evidence
to
the
contrary
because
of
that
single
assumption
.
The
electron
-
tight
security
you
’
ve
got
here
,
the
lack
of
any
traces
of
intrusion
,
the
handprint
lock
on
the
safe
.
"
"
And
Kadmin
.
And
Ortega
.
"
"
Yeah
,
that
didn
’
t
help
.
But
we
straightened
out
the
Ortega
angle
,
and
Kadmin
,
well
,
I
’
m
coming
to
Kadmin
in
a
moment
.
The
point
is
,
as
long
as
I
equated
pulling
that
trigger
with
suicide
,
I
was
jammed
.
But
then
,
what
if
those
two
acts
were
not
synonymous
.
What
if
you
’
d
torched
your
own
stack
,
not
because
you
wanted
to
die
but
for
some
other
reason
.
Once
I
let
myself
think
that
,
the
rest
was
easy
.
What
were
the
possible
reasons
that
you
’
d
do
it
?
It
’
s
not
an
easy
thing
to
put
a
gun
to
your
own
head
,
even
if
you
do
want
to
die
.
To
do
it
when
you
want
to
live
must
take
the
will
of
a
demon
.
