"You know, there's an easy way to find out what kind of person she really is," said Jack as he grabbed a chair and sat down next to Katie.
Katie grabbed his hand, but instead of relief she felt anxious.
Orin, on the other hand, looked triumphant. Like he'd won the argument.
Fran had told Jack that even wise men can be blind to certain truths, especially about those close to them. And he suspected that was the case with Orin and his wife, Jacqueline.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked, looking at Orin.
Orin nodded, smiling, then paused and asked, "My team?"
"At the other warehouse and loading into two vans. The tunnel collapse has been extended in both directions, and the Nov's are down an unknown number of men due to West's Nov-a-chunk surprise."
"Outstanding!" crowed Orin jubilantly.
"Novichuck surprise?" asked Katie.
"Nov Ah Chunk. Chunks of Nov. The Nov's entered a room rigged with explosives."
"Oh." She was sorry she had asked.
