The rest of the work week is hell.

Goodman's office is so busy that I have no time to go off with Jeremy during that time. I must focus on the idiot tasks he puts me on, but at least they don't involve spying on anyone or breaking into offices during dangerous times. Goodman himself is quiet, and he doesn't speak much about my fake plans that I've given him.

I nearly lose my temper multiple times over a few more video calls. I'm not pissed at the concerned citizens of Colorado and even a few other states who want Goodman to push for, say, healthcare they can afford. I'm angry at the Senator, because I know he's ignoring all these pleas for help while telling me to pass along the word that he's trying to do that. He also tells me to make sure these people blame the Hearts if that doesn't work.

He's already setting everything up to defeat them in the Presidential election.

I want to throw up.

I've had enough of all this political backstabbing.

It's all about revenge now.

And worst of all, the week is so busy that I'll have no time to visit Jeremy until almost the end of Friday night, where we work for a half shift. And that scares me, because we need to talk to the Diamonds about how all this is going to work.

Beatrice is very silent through the week, too. And I don't like that. She's even stopped glaring at me, as if she's just waiting for something. And that bothers me, considering we'll be expected to help with Wesley's plan together. Goodman hasn't even told me what Beatrice will be expected to do, even though it's obvious my role will be to keep Wesley in line and work in the shadows to help him screw the schedule up. I'll have to be his eyes and ears. And probably, so will Beatrice.

And at last, Friday night arrives, and I get through my duties quickly. With a bad taste in my mouth, I rise from my desk as I finish typing the last, I'm pretending that I care letter.

"Finished," I tell Goodman, who has just arrived in the office to go sit at his workstation. "I need to have the rest of this night to clear my head." I don't say the rest out loud. I need a night to make sure I'm rested for what I must do tomorrow.

Goodman nods and continues to type on his own laptop. "Of course. I told Haywood to let his son know you would be free around this time." Then he shoots me a warning glare. I can’t utter a thing about this plan in front of Jeremy. "Have fun for now. And stay quiet. We can bring him up to speed on the happenings within the next couple of weeks."

Beatrice bristles at her desk as she continues to type. I'm glad she's stuck here, having to work longer hours. Then I walk to the door and wait next to Amelia and a male guard, who stare straight ahead while Goodman works.
