"Examination"

Sheldon Jeffrey Sands was a genius—he was also incredibly manipulative. He oozed charm and class, all of it false. It could barely be seen, but the psychologist saw it. This young man obviously had problems. She didn't know what he'd done in his childhood, only that he'd suffered two losses. However…

If the CIA could somehow harness his psyche and make it work for them, he'd be perfect. Just unhinged enough. Maybe work some fanatical devotion into him.

"Thank you, Mr. Sands. That will be all," she said, attempting to smile at him. He smiled back, and she shivered.
