Summary

There’s the sound of breaking ceramic across the room, and too late, Fox remembers the whispered conversation he caught between Stone and Thire the last time it had been morning in his office. Something about ‘not enough sleep’, about ‘looking stressed’, about ‘thinking of ways Florrum could have gone differently’. And then later, Thorn had come in under the pretext of dropping off more paperwork and given him an order dressed up as a suggestion. “Stone could really use a debrief on that escort mission, boss” he’d said, and —
Fox looks at where Stone is white-knuckling the countertop and winces.
