259 The Backing

Returning back to Pittsburgh, Poul and Sara head up to the main office where they see Amelia and Jonathan having a conversation.

"So you are saying that even Mr. Russell's current can be used as a current for the electric chair?" Amelia asked, her voice filled with curiosity and a hint of concern.

Jonathan nodded thoughtfully, his eyes fixed on Amelia. "I believe it's possible," he replied. "Direct current has been utilized in various applications, and while I haven't personally seen it, the fundamental principles of electricity suggest that it could work."

"No it wouldn't," Poul walked forward, startling the two. 

"Poul?" Jonathan gasped softly. "You already returned…with Sara I see," Jonathan said, scanning Sara's appearance. He noticed a ring on her index finger, suggesting that there had been a development on their date. But it wasn't the right time to bring that up. "Why do you say that direct current can't be used on electric chairs?"
