“We're with the federal government. I'm Mr. Harrison. This is Mr. Woods."
I didn't move, and I kept my left foot wedged securely behind the door. I wasn't as tall as either of them, but I was strong, a farmer, an athlete, a chopper of wood and hoister of fence posts. I trusted my ability to slam the door in their faces. I said, "What branch?"
"What?"
"What branch of federal government?"
Harrison's mouth quirked to one side as if he was resisting a patronizing smile. "Information," he said.
"That's not a branch." I braced my foot more securely. "The FBI is a branch. The War Department is a branch.”

“Until you realize you need to stop controlling my life, you can't be a part of it, and I can't be a part of yours."

"I'm doing this for myself." My tone rose. "You may not care, but I have a life here. I'm running my own business. I truly appreciate everything you've done for me and our family, but it's clear that you value the family business more than your own child. I've had enough of living my life being controlled and suffocated by you. It's time for you to move on.”
