Everyone has a line that can't be crossed, no matter what. Working at Wolfram and Hart, you'll encounter that line, eventually. You can't avoid it. I haven't had a problem with getting terrible people out of big trouble; that's what lawyers do, though usually on a smaller scale.

Until now.

They wanted to kill kids. And that's where I draw my line. But you know what? Even at this moment, I don't know if Holland was testing me--or whether I passed or failed. The office, the money, the position...reward, or punishment?

I don't know if I'll ever know.

Interesting, very interesting. I find it very cool that Lindsey's promotion might be a punishment - usually when they punish people it's with "real sacks" and fire and such, but that sounds like a much subtler punishment.

Well...he did wrong, by their lights. You'd think they'd punish him...and how better to punish him than by tempting him back into the fold?
