"I was beginning to get a sense of what he was doing. What they were doing. In DC, with the subway. On the lake. Maybe even with me, and the man trying to kill me. It was about change. Acting, to cause a desired reaction. Edison saw himself as an agent of change. For all I knew, he had been involved in 9/11, in causing all the change that came about afterwards."
