Conger asked. 'Go on. I'm interested.' The room was silent; all faces were fixed on Conger—still in the drab prison uniform. The Speaker leaned forward slowly.

His lips twisted. 'All right,' he said. 'Leave that out. Get to the point. Who do you want me to kill?' The Speaker smiled. 'All in proper sequence,' he said softly.
