Kieran walks away from him and then sits down in the only vacant seat behind me. I feel every muscle in my body go rigid.
I feel his breath on my neck as he leans across his desk. I hear his voice say close to my ear, "Relax Heather, I won't bite you."
I keep my eyes on Mr. Hittler and I hear Mr. Hittler say, "In fourteen seventy-seven. Géaroid Mór Fitzgerald. Became the. Chief Deputy of Ireland. In fact. He was so. Powerful. He was looked upon. As the uncrowned. King of Ireland."
After that everything goes blank as I zone out.
