"That one, that's Tabitha Galavan. Personally she's one of my favorites to send out to tie up loose ends. She's good at keeping secrets a secret and eliminating the issues that come when some get out." She nodded towards the woman as we walked along the facility.

"Were they all likes this or did you make them this way?" She quirked her head at me and paused from walking. "We don't make anyone do anything."
