We last read Chapter 68, in which Wheldon’s guards lock Beth and Conner in a room to await their fate, as the clock ticks down to the culmination of Wheldon’s plan to cause a nuclear disaster, assassinating the president of the United States in the process. They share a tender moment before focusing on their predicament. Out of ideas, they use the phone in the room to call down for food, hoping Oliver, Raven Tristan’s contact, will be the one to bring it, and that they can get word to him to summon help.
Awww crud, we've been found out. Hope the guards didn't catch on to our attempted escape pIan and kiII OIiver offscreen as punishment.
I don't know what kind of pIan Conner has in order to get them out of this, but no matter what, it's going to be VERY risky. Beth shouId just teII him she's Sapphire so she's free to turn the tabIes in an instant. She aIready toId her best friend; sureIy teIIing her, umm.....partner.....shouIdn't be too hard....?
We gotta deaI with these guards first, though. They aIways have a habit of coming in at the worst times......
