"Oh no. Never. But I won't release this document without your approval. And your sister's approval. THat's why I'm giving the entire thing to you. Because it has names. Including that of David Winters, Tobias Winters' father. And the pilot of the Raptor. A lot of names. It doesn't have yours or Bathsheba's, nor the names of those left behind, but it does of a casualty list. And some of those names are on the Board right now. One of the names is a member of the Joint Chiefs. It wouldn't create blind support. It'll create righteous fury. And because I was the one that released it, not only would the people side with me, but I would also be untouchable. Giving this to you is a violation of the law that even I would be thrown in prison for. But if I go public with it, I can't be touched, or the people would revolt. ANd I have a way of protecting you and your sister."

The woman shook her head. "Obviously I'd get you two out of here before I go public. You do have power..." I don't think he realizes who I am...

The woman chuckled, bringing a bit of brightness back to her haggard face. "No, they wouldn't allow it. Nor would KGB let you. I heard Tobias used his influence to save you from KGB, but you wouldn't last long if you tried. All people that try to go to Russia permenantely get screened by KGB."

"No. Not until you give me your support. Otherwise, it'd be plain treason for me to tell you. I'm not entirely above the law..."

Jarid gave a growl.
"So you could easily lead us into a trap if I give you support...."

SHe rolled her eyes. "Yes, because that's exactly what I want. What use would I have for that. If I wanted to trap the two of you, I'd be a hell of a lot easier and simple than this. All I'd have to do is have the two of you transferred."

"After all the s**t that has happened in the length of a few days, you REALLY expect me, OR my sister to just blindly trust someone!?"

THe woman shrugged. "Well, you've been blindly trusting me for a few years now, so why not just a little more?"

The woman smiled. "I'm surprised it took you so long to mention that. Had you simply asked, this conversation would have gone completely different. My name is Eloise Pritchart. I'm the President of the American Council. Meaning this is my base. I'm your boss. Colonel Jackson's boss."

"Then you'll forgive me if I still don't act any different." Jarid grunted.
