Arthur Sterling laughed dismissively at the eight-year-old boy, signaling the marshals to secure him immediately.
“Ignore the kid; he’s just repeating what his uncle told him to say,” Arthur dismissed, waving his hand impatiently.
“He’s not repeating anything, Arthur—he’s holding the master override key to the federal oversight vault,” Victor corrected.
