Sloane wasn't familiar with the exact manner of Linwood's demise, but he was more than familiar with getting rid of fools in the way of one's ambition, especially if they threatened one's own life, too. He usually preferred to use other people in order to achieve this - one one fondly remembered occasion the CIA, as the Alliance had really served its purpose and had dared to demand he should kill his wife - but sometimes one had to act oneself. It wouldn't suprise him if Lilah Morgan had; she struck him as the thorough kind of woman who would.

"De mortuis nihil nisi bene always struck me as a rather maudlin motto, though I'd agree that the pleasure of speaking ill of the dead is nothing to the pleasure of speaking ill of the living."
Sitting down himself, he takes the wine card the waiter offers.
"Of course the second is a bit riskier, but what is life without risks? And speaking of risks... I hear the 2004 Kiedricher Grafenberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese is one of the better Cépages nobles they offer here. Of course, it might be a bit too salty, but sometimes one has to take chances, doesn't one?"
