Maxwell Peary furrowed his brow, coldly scanning all the people present.
"We'll have a meeting in ten minutes."
He waved them all out with a sweeping gesture.
"Alan Morgan, you stay."
Alan Morgan's back stiffened. Watching as everyone left and the door swung open, he wished he could disappear through the crack.
