Gregory Evans approached his computer monitor. He read what was written on the screen:
— The Oath which appears in a manuscript preserved in the Edinburgh Archives, dated the year 1646, is significant: 'I swear by God and St. John, by the Square, by the Compasses, to submit myself to the judgment of all, to work in the service of my Master in this venerable lodge, from Monday morning to Saturday, and to keep the keys under penalty of having my tongue torn out through my chin and being buried beneath the waves, where no man may know'...
— That's what they did to George... — Candice's lips trembled slightly as she spoke.
She clenched her teeth and added in a whisper:
— These wretches keep their promises to the letter, relentlessly.
— Yes... but who? — asked his friend, his eyes wide.
— It was obviously the Freemasons!
