“You just said medal?”
Mr. Truman suddenly wondered if he was hallucinating or if Lynch had misunderstood. How else could he have brought up a medal?
Lynch had already returned to the sofa, casually turned on the TV, and lowered the volume. Relaxed, he said, “Of course. I sacrificed my personal honor. You know, this isn’t easy—I’m a person with moral scruples.”
