Adam was going to kill Z Berg. He was going to kill her until she was dead with his own hands for pinning him in this chair in the middle of the hall and making him talk about runes and oh, look, John Nolan was joining them.
"You're dead, Elizabeth Berg," Adam hissed, then looked up at John. "Nolan. What the hell are you doing here?" He tried to fake a smile, but it mostly came out as a baring of teeth. "How's your sister?"
Oh, because goading the guy whose sister he used to sleep with was such a fantastic idea. He was so dead meat. So very, very dead.
