Chapter Three

‘So you’re saying that the Perfect government are willing to offer Sandor two witnesses to testify for her?’ Purple growled.

We were sitting at the table opposite William. He kept smiling at me with a knowing look. Did he really think that I’d be attracted to him? Okay, for a moment I was looking but as soon as he’d started talking I’d gone off him pretty quickly. It wasn’t just about how you looked.

‘Yes,’ William said.

‘You want us to do it don’t you?’ I asked. I wasn’t sure what they were up to but my gut was telling me to refuse.

William nodded and winked at me. I raised my eyebrows as Purple stifled a laugh by coughing.

‘I’m not sure, William, why are you giving Sandor a trial? Usually you would just kill her and be done with it.’ Artie stood up and started to pace the room. Being in such a grand place was uncomfortable for us all.

‘Yes, we would but things are starting to change. You know that Artie. All your work hasn’t been for nothing.’

I looked between the pair of them. I was feeling more and more like I was in the dark about everything. Purple had a knowing look when our gaze met. He’d always been in charge of our missions. I’d even been clueless then.

‘Why us…?’ Purple said as I was about to open my mouth.

‘You know her better than anyone,’ Will replied leaning back in his seat. His back was completely straight. I was trying my hardest not to slouch on the uncomfortable wooden chairs.

‘Something doesn’t feel right,’ I said quietly. I was watching Will as he looked at me. A flash of something tiny in his gaze made me pause. His half smile returned and I looked away. What had that look been? Fear…?

‘There is one condition,’ Will said.

Artie stopped pacing as stood behind his chair. We’d been waiting for this part.

‘Hope and Purple stay here in the compound with Sandor.’

I couldn’t help the gasp that came out of my mouth. Purple jumped up and growled. His tall frame didn’t intimidate William. He sat completely still with his arms folded on the table.

‘No,’ I said, standing and turning to leave.

‘Hope, wait…’ Artie said, sitting back down opposite William.

‘Are you mad, Artie? I’m not going to be imprisoned. This was just a trick to get us over here. They’re basically arresting us too.’ I’d spun back and now started around the table. ‘You really think we’re that stupid?’

Purple grabbed me and pulled me away from William. My arm was shaking as a hot flush travelled from my feet to my head.

‘Hope, Purple, sit back down,’ Artie ordered. The tone in his voice was something I’d never heard before. We both sunk into our chairs.

‘That’s not going to happen, William, and you know it. Why don’t you tell me why we’re really here?’

William genuinely smiled as he looked at Artie. ‘Never could get anything past you, could I?’

They both started to laugh and I felt myself start to rise again.
