She rolled her eyes, "You realize leaving people alive is leaving a loose end for your eneainst you?"

I shook my head, "I can’t believe you I can’t believe you would have hurt him like that What did you learn? What could you possibly have learned?"

I shook my head, "How come they haven’t killed him off?"

Fitz smiled, "That is an excellent question"
