If they weren't under her payroll, trying to feed their own families and make a living, they would see her death in a new light. They'd rejoice and dance on her body. They'd dip their fingers into her blood and paint streaks across their cheeks, a statement of victory. They'd lift me on their shoulders and parade me through the building and down the streets of Boston, proclaiming me a hero. That I managed to escape.
Then I feel the cold prick of a needle as it goes into my neck.
