Chapter 117

Dallin had been assuming the Brethren was a Dominion brotherhood, but there were plenty of Dallin's own countrymen who would be susceptible to the sort of mission those men followed. Payton back in Putnam had the right sort of smarminess about him. In fact, that might explain how Wheeler had known to drag Manning and Ramsford in for questioning, how he knew which of the staff to imprison and which to keep. And Payton certainly wasn't the only one Dallin knew who might fit that particular bill. No stolen marks, but Wheeler couldn't possibly have them either, so that didn't necessarily mean anything.

How did that joke go?--Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean everyone's not out to get me.
