Chapter 21

A twelfth bong faded into the wafting grind of carriage wheels and the snick of a turning lock.

The outer door to the suite of offices had been breached.

Jack stared through thick glass at the city of London.

He did not see what he needed, view obstructed by ever-heightening buildings.

An almost inaudible click was chased by a draft of cool air.

Jack did not face the opening door. “How many people inhabit our great country, Mr. Dorsey?”

It was a rhetorical question: Jack knew the answer.

“At the last census, sir, we were twenty-five million, nine-hundred-seventy-three thousand, five hundred and thirty-nine.”

“And how many of those are women?” Jack asked.

Jack did not know the answer.

“Thirteen million, three-hundred-thirty-four thousand, five hundred and thirty-seven,” the clerk calmly responded.

“More than half,” Jack said neutrally.

“Nearly fifty-four percent, sir.”

A majority, yet the majority did not rule.

Dark motion caught Jack’s eye.
