“You’ll have to explain how all that happened at a later date. Jack’s good at fucking with people’s heads. It could still be a trap.”
Alright, looks like she’s sticking to her side.
“It could.”
“But?”
“I’ve got this feeling in my gut, like I had when I was around Jack and Bonesaw, and I wish I’d trusted it then. I don’t want to doubt it now.”
Ahh. Just don’t go the other way and get overconfident in it.
Hmm. Maybe the amount of people in there, real and/or fake, is meant to dissuade attacks?
“A gut feeling?”
I nodded, once.
Admittedly, Taylor’s gut has been right before.
She sighed. “What can I do?”
“Get out of here. I don’t want to hurt you if I fall under Cherish’s control, which is supposed to be pretty short-lived. In case she plans to make it more long-term, maybe call the PRT director and arrange a firebomb if I don’t report back?”
Yikes. Taylor is asking Lisa to arrange for her to very likely get killed if she’s compromised.
Tattletale made a face. “This is dumb.”
“I’ve done dumb things. I somehow don’t feel like this is one of them.”
The possibility that Cherish is closer than they think and messing with Taylor’s head is still on the table, but it’s increasingly unclear whether she’d be pushing Taylor towards attacking or away from it.
