And if he knew Kotetsu half as well as he thought he did, he'd try to delay such an uncomfortable conversation for as long as possible.
There had been enough of within the past couple of weeks. Barnaby wasn't sure if he had the patience to endure it anymore.
When he reached the proper door, he gave a firm knock. "It's me."
