That was great. Melchett was perfectly terrifying,and totally IC. My heart went out to poor George. I had a twinge of sympathy for Melchett even when it was obvious he thought George would blackmail him. Gotta admit 99.9% of my sympathy was with George. After all, Melchett's been pretty nasty to him most of his life except when he was Georgina. Sigh. (Hope you write that revelation scene...but damn, that would be a painful one to write, ow. ow.ow.)
