Vi takes the story well. Better than I did. She’s all strength where I’m all screw up.

I leave out the part where I told him to turn himself in. It’s irrelevant why he finally did it, and the result is the same. I don’t need Vi to resent me when I’ve got that more than covered.

“What now?” she asks. “We’re going to get him out, right?” Her confidence always finds doors in walls.

“We don’t know yet. Sergeant Dennel thinks we can use the fact that the higher-ups trust me and already expect my involvement. Heck, they formally asked for it.”

“You’re going to play both sides. A double agent,” she concludes with a smile.

I return it. My warrior-roommate, ready for ass-kicking. “Sure, if that’s what you want to call it, but since we don’t actually have a plan beyond that, it might be overstating it a bit.”

“Well, you might not have a plan, but your first task is pretty clear.”

She cocks her head at my blank stare.

“Andie, come on. Obviously, he needs to know you’re on his side. If you’re going to be a double agent, he has to know you’re working for him by working against him. If you don’t tell him, he’s going to think you’ve turned and give up when you need him to hang on long enough for us to get him out. Your first step is to draw the line in the sand.”

It is obvious. And yet, no, it hadn’t occurred to me. In fact, it hadn’t occurred to me to start with anything. Those walls? I usually see reinforced steel and barbed wire. I’m beginning to think she’s more valuable than I am.

“Right, yeah, of course. Dennel is trying to get me in to see Kaleb.”

“How many double agents can play themselves on both sides?”

She’s not wrong. It’s a great point.
