Seth tells me as he walks in the room. “Jaxon and Cate are both fine for the time being. And, yeah, Angie is there; our purist friends have pinned some ridiculous accusations on her to justify keeping her there for questioning. Trying to get her to cough up information about me and maybe Huxley, too, I’m guessing. The president’s trying to fight it, but she’s getting overruled, and it’s just making things more unstable there. Zach thinks things are about to reach a tipping point, and he’s not the only one—apparently people are running away from that place left and right because they don’t want to get caught up in it when these two sides start really throwing punches at each other.” “And what about you?” I ask. “What are you going to do?” “It’s obvious, isn’t it?” His tone is sharp. “If the president can’t get them to release Angie, then we’ll have to go after her ourselves. I want her away from headquarters before things get completely out of control there.
