She slammed the door shut and stared at him. A man she once respected and admired. Someone she even considered a close friend. The office light flickered above them. The standing fan in the corner of the room did nothing to cool the air between them. She was fuming, but he looked at her as if she were a ghost. As if her entire being stood mute and unseen. She said, "You cannot give this child to that woman. She'll destroy her."
"Linda," Barton said, "my hands are tied here."
"Did you read the psychiatrist's report on her? She's violent, and her motives for this adoption are deplorable."
He didn't know what to say. What could he say that didn't sound like an excuse? "It's a private sale."
"Then void it."
"I can't."
"She's going to kill her."
"Christ, keep it down. I tried to void it, but she has a super number. There's nothing we can do to stop this."
"Then I quit."
"Don't do this."
"It's all I can do."
"Linda, please."
She let it out: "I fucking hate this super shit!"
