Gabriel? Are you implying Gabriel had something to with…
““Gabriel? Are you implying Gabriel had something to with Thompson’s death?” Francesca sounded somewhere between outraged and amused. “You can’t be serious, Brice.” “He crushed his hand, Francesca. Your Gabriel did that. Crushed his fist with one hand. I watched him do it and he wasn’t even straining. I never even saw him come into the room. He was just there. There’s something not quite right about him. His eyes. They aren’t human. He’s not human.” Francesca stared at him wide-eyed. “Not human? As in what? A phantom? A ghost that flies through the air? A gorilla? What? Maybe he lifts weights. Maybe he’s strong because he lifts weights and his adrenaline was pumping. What are you saying?””
