“You knew all these facts because you ran the analyses and projections yourself. You knew the food supply estimates, you knew what population it could support, and you knew that at best we could maybe keep three million people alive in a world now numbering nearly seventeen million people. That’s what I want to know. Why did you wait until now to break your silence, why not three years ago when the policies were discussed and put into place? The numbers haven’t changed; the Collapse is still on track to begin in seven years. The population will most likely decrease from seventeen million to three million in about a decade. You are, or were, a model employee up until two weeks ago. You were promoted to senior PPP Administration. You knew you and your family would have been in the group to be taken to one of the Havens. You and your family would live through this mess. Now, you’ve thrown that all into the sewer, and you knew that would happen also. Why then did you speak out now when you had every reason to keep your damn mouth shut?”660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYfWqDwnrl

He looked at me wide-eyed and pale. Interrogation didn’t care why this idiot blabbed. All they cared about was who did this and a basic motive. They never asked themselves what made him change? What had pushed him over the edge? That was not their job to do, but it was mine. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8IZm5IR11

He sat there in stunned silence. I could see him trying to form words, but not succeeding. He wanted to say something, but he either didn’t or couldn’t bring himself to say it. Finally, he shrugged his shoulder and let me have a weak, non-committal, “I don’t know.” 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPKKemdHAx

I shot to my feet and slammed my hand on the table with a blow that sounded like a hammer hitting the steel. My fist actually dented the gray metallic top. “Not good enough, Doctor,” I told him. “I want an answer to that question and if you force me to, I will have to beat it out of you or give you medication that will turn you into a zombie.”660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6FKf1ZxlX

Instinctively he sat back in his chair. His face was now ashen white and his eyes showed the fear that I was serious about beating him to a pulp. I would have done it if necessary. The drug I gave him works best when the victim is under stress. I needed him to open up to me. He started to breathe rapidly. I could still see him struggle to form words.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0ypUEk8nk

“Anytime, Doctor,” I said with a grimace.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPnfmEfCr8

He swallowed hard and looked at me with a blank stare. I thought for a second I was actually going to have to start beating him to get the answers when he cleared his throat and spoke to me in a sheepish hushed voice hard to hear.8964 copyright protection656ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSuBWfxf7a 維尼
