victor watches a bank of videoscreens. he has the baxter building under surveillance. he sees reed and sue on monitors. he toys with sue's diamond ring in his gloved hand.
victor gets closer to his screens, watching reed's every step. this is what victor has been waiting for. his screens flicker with static -- he's too close, but he can't pull back. he sees: reed turns on the machine. hits a countdown. and he grabs his uniform.
victor sits enthralled. he leans forward, breathless.
victor watches every second on his monitors.
victor watches, his eyes narrow, looking at his hands.
