Chapter 209

• Oliver had always prided himself on his ability to read people, anticipate their moves before they made them, and escape from situations quickly, yet he couldn't get away from this.
• He's been pushed to the wall as he walked down the long path. He bowed his head, and his son-in-law followed him from behind.
• Keith was walking behind them, and he felt a gnawing sense of dread. It was becoming clear that Keith had been aware of their plans all along. He had played along with them; he played them for a fool, and they thought they were smart. Now that there was nowhere to escape, it was no longer an option.
