MJ watched the Colonel's expression cycle through displeasure, resignation, and something that might have been grudging respect.
Then Colonel Vane made another mistake.
Colonel Vane looked at Neville, and Neville looked back at him with an expression that clearly said: I have more, Colonel. Would you like me to continue?
Colonel Vane's eye twitched.
Desperate, he turned to the one person in the room who might be able to rein in this particular force of nature. Grayson sat in his designated seat like a king observing court proceedings, his eyes were watching over everything, and he was simply enjoying the show.
Colonel Vane's look clearly pleaded: Help me, General. Control your employee. Do something.
Grayson's response was to lean back slightly in his chair, the ghost of a smile playing at the corner of his lips. His body language practically screamed indifference to the Colonel's plight.
But then something fascinating happened.
