The drive allowed Summers to calm down, and as he thought back to recent events he realized that he could, in fact, calm down. He and Penelope had obtained enough evidence, and his friend was okay and repeatedly assured Summers that there was no possible way that the cops had enough evidence to discern who he was before they'd left the hospital. Phillip Quincy had been dead for years and Penelope Plum wasn't in their system. They'd surely link Phillip Quincy to the death of Daniel Berry, but that would lead them precisely nowhere. And so, for the first time since their mission, Summers felt confident that their plan had actually worked. He took another long sip of coffee, polishing off his eighth cup. Sam Higgins wasn't the offspring of a murderer–his parents’ only crime had been trying to bring their son a better life. And Berry using Sam to bolster the success rate of the GenDec program compromised its validity entirely. Plus, the evidence of their techniques–the torture, was enough–it had to be enough to take GenDec down.
