Barton hesitated, beads of sweat forming on his brow. Earlier, if Nova hadn't interrupted, he would've revealed the mastermind.
But now, as though he had seen something — or someone - his demeanor shifted. He dropped to his knees and confessed, "I'll tell you. It was all my fault. No one else orderedto do it.

"Ms. Clarke, please! I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to fryou. Please, spare me! I swear I won't do it again!" Allison's eyes carried a sense of certainty, her tone unwavering.
"If you're the one behind all this, then you're finished.” Barton, hearing the weight of her words, broke down in fear.
