~ SASHA ~
Sasha wanted to weep with despair, and with sheer joy.
No, Zev, you don't understand. If you show up here, that will be the end. Whatever we do, we have to do it without you coming anywhere near the compound. They won't let you leave.
Fat chance, Sash. I'm not leaving this to the others. They don't know their way around. And they're—
No, Zev. Listen to me. They believe that our offspring—you and I—they think that's the answer to this whole picture. As long as we're apart, they can't get what they want. It's giving me some leverage. If you show up, they will take you and the rest of this won't happen. But if I can still dangle that in front of them… I have a plan, I think.
Zev tensed. What is it?
Sasha bit her lip. He might know more than she did. But part of her was terrified that he'd think it was too dangerous, and then where would they be?
