Isaac POV
Present
Isaac sat across the table with Celia by his side.
The two of them listened as Professor Catherine leaned back comfortably in the governor's chair.
Her legs rested on the table, and she held a cigar smoldering between her fingers.
She looked like she owned the entire office, and from the way she carried herself, no one dared suggest otherwise.
"So what's the governor doing right now? I doubt you killed him" Isaac asked.
Professor Catherine smiled faintly. "Yes, he's still alive. We still need him to appear before the public. Right now, James is keeping him under control with a social skill."
Isaac nodded slightly. "Can I meet him?"
"Go ahead," Professor Catherine said, lifting herself from the chair.
She flicked ash into the tray, then walked toward a side door.
Isaac followed her down the short corridor until she stopped in front of another room.
She twisted the handle and pushed it open, gesturing for him to enter.
The room was dimly lit.
