“Your name … I didn’t catch it before.”
“My name?”
Martinez nods. “I’m Martinez … and you are…?”
Brian pauses for the slimmest of moments before replying, “Philip … Philip Blake.”
Martinez reaches out to shake Brian’s hand. “Pleasure to meet you, Philip.”
With a firm grip, the two men clasp hands, and in that single gesture a new order begins to take shape.
