As Desire entered the headquarters room, which Parson West had barely / left, Perez was sitting at a table with his back to the door. He turned / at the noise of her entrance and seeing who it was gave a great start. / Then he rose slowly to his feet and confronted her. It was the first / time he had seen her since that Sunday when she cut him dead before all / the people, coming out of meeting. For a moment the two stood motionless / gazing at each other. Then she came quickly up to him and laid her hand / upon his arm. Her dark eyes were full of terrified appeal.
