Juliette sat back in her chair, her face impassive. She then nodded
slightly, saying simply, "Go on."

Lemanz thought again of Sanz at the mention of assassins. Perhaps
there was a connection after all.

A slight chill went down Juliette's spine. Had this Marhsal carried
out the "justice" the Colonel had spoken of? That it now turned out
might have been misguided? She found herself almost not wanting to
know. "After the shooting, there was another incident," she offered.
"Members of our team were kidnapped. They've since escaped, but I've
not yet heard a plausible explanation for their capture in the first
place." The Colonel seems to think that Mother Superior is somehow
mixed up in all this." Holding back the card of Sanz's involvement,
Juliette wanted to find out just how much more Hank knew.
