    Summary

    “Well,” Kimblee tilts his head a little, “You know what we could do, just to make sure you stay in line? How about we make an agreement that every time you disobey a direct order, no matter how minor, someone dies?”

    Edward can hear his heart pounding in his ears. Or is it the ticking clock? "Someone?”

    “Yes, someone. Not someone you love, or even that you care about. But someone. A human being, killed because you wouldn’t do as you were told. A person with hopes, and dreams, and a family. How about that? Would that motivate you?”

    It would.

    [Ed doesn't get away from Kimblee, up in the North. Kimblee makes sure he regrets it.]
