Maria called ten minutes later.<\/p>\n
Bell routed the conversation through recording equipment.<\/p>\n
I did not care.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere are you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSafe.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Voss.\u201d<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat means yes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThomas is helping me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe ordered Sophie classified as disposable biological evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maria\u2019s breath caught.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou didn\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen maybe your brother isn\u2019t helping.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel stood beside me.<\/p>\n
Bell signaled for me to keep her talking.<\/p>\n
I ignored the signal.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did you disappear?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTo keep the second half away from Samuel.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou could have told me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI tried to.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA note is not telling me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t know who had access to your room.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou trusted Voss instead.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s my brother.\u201d<\/p>\n
There it was again.<\/p>\n
Family.<\/p>\n
Always family.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you know about the destruction order?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you know he continued Hearth?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot at that scale.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat scale did you know?\u201d<\/p>\n
Maria became quiet.<\/p>\n
\u201cLong-term monitoring.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWithout consent.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cChildren hidden in Facility 19?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEmily Vale?\u201d<\/p>\n
A pause.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know about Emily.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen you know Thomas kept the program alive because Samuel\u2019s intervention never stopped causing damage.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s his excuse.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt isn\u2019t entirely false.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m tired of things being technically true.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo am I.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her voice cracked.<\/p>\n
For the first time, she sounded frightened.<\/p>\n
\u201cClaire, listen to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m listening.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLaura did not hide the reversal because she wanted it destroyed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why separate it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause she wanted no single person to control it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEspecially Samuel.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I had survived his work and turned against him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Voss?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYet you ran to him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maria inhaled.<\/p>\n
\u201cI ran because Nathan escaped.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNathan wanted it for Emily.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Voss?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said he could secure the protocol in NorthStar\u2019s clean laboratory.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat sounds exactly like what someone running NorthStar would say.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why believe him?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause he\u2019s my brother.\u201d<\/p>\n
I closed my eyes.<\/p>\n
There was no answer to that which she had not already given herself.<\/p>\n
\u201cTell me what Laura discovered.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe reversal is not one drug.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDr. Shah said sequence.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a staged protocol.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat stages?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst, reduce active tumor burden.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cChemotherapy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSuppress vector expression.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the first half?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the second?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRestore normal regulatory signaling gradually.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy gradually?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause Laura\u2019s death showed what happens when you reverse too much at once.\u201d<\/p>\n
I felt cold.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe tested it on herself.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid she know she could die?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe knew there was risk.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is not what I asked.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maria went quiet.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
Same answer.<\/p>\n
Same failure.<\/p>\n
\u201cSamuel hid data.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you know?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot until after.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you helped change the death certificate.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
Her voice broke.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause Laura begged me not to let Samuel bury the reversal with her.\u201d<\/p>\n
I stared at the phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was conscious at the end.\u201d<\/p>\n
Samuel had never said that.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did she say?\u201d<\/p>\n
Maria breathed unsteadily.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe told me you might need the work someday.\u201d<\/p>\n
My throat closed.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe knew she was dying?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid she blame Samuel?\u201d<\/p>\n
Another silence.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaria.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
That answer surprised me.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe blamed herself too.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause she had pushed for the reversal trial.\u201d<\/p>\n
I sat.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe knew her cancer might be connected to the original intervention?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd she wanted to undo it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEven experimentally.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why hide the truth from me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause you were sixteen.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not sixteen anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou had twenty years.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat were you waiting for?\u201d<\/p>\n
Maria\u2019s voice became very quiet.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor certainty.\u201d<\/p>\n
I laughed bitterly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat word ruins lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI waited to know whether Laura\u2019s intervention had actually protected you. Then Sophie was born. Then Samuel found her. Then every year I told myself I would speak when I knew enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd suddenly ten years passed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
She sounded like Eric.<\/p>\n
Fear becoming delay.<\/p>\n
Delay becoming complicity.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere are you now?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t tell you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIs Voss there?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPut him on.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cClaire\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPut him on.\u201d<\/p>\n
A moment later Voss spoke.<\/p>\n
\u201cClaire.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou tried to have my daughter erased.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe order had your authorization.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt had my signature.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat sounds worse.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was applied outside its intended scope.\u201d<\/p>\n
I almost shouted.<\/p>\n
\u201cExplain that without hiding behind corporate language.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe termination order was for contaminated research assets and data.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSophie was on the list.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe should not have been.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut she was.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWho added her?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m investigating.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou expect me to believe someone forged a list under your authority?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI expect you to believe NorthStar is larger than me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nathan had said that.<\/p>\n
Samuel had implied it.<\/p>\n
Now Voss admitted it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen who controls it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA governance committee.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNames.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot give them over an unsecured line.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bell wrote something on a pad.<\/p>\n
ASK LOCATION.<\/p>\n
I ignored him again.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid your committee send men to Geneva?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Voss finally stopped deflecting.<\/p>\n
I felt Daniel stiffen.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot Samuel?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSamuel sent another team.\u201d<\/p>\n
I stared.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth of you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Two armed groups chasing the same archive.<\/p>\n
No wonder the repository had become a battlefield.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat were your orders?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRecover the archive before Samuel did.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBy force.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople got shot.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you authorize that?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you know it could happen?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
At least he understood the question.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy does everyone think committing a crime with a medical reason turns it into medicine?\u201d<\/p>\n
Voss said nothing.<\/p>\n
\u201cPut Maria back.\u201d<\/p>\n
She returned.<\/p>\n
\u201cClaire.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you trust him?\u201d<\/p>\n
A long silence.<\/p>\n
\u201cI trust him to protect the protocol from Samuel.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat wasn\u2019t my question.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
Finally.<\/p>\n
Something honest.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you trust him with Sophie?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen bring the protocol back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThomas isn\u2019t letting me leave.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bell\u2019s head snapped up.<\/p>\n
Daniel mouthed, There.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you being held?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot physically.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat does that mean?\u201d<\/p>\n
Voss\u2019s voice sounded farther away.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaria.\u201d<\/p>\n
She continued quickly.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe says if I leave, NorthStar will seize the protocol under litigation authority.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bell whispered, \u201cAsk address.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere are you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know the exact address.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWindow?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBuilding type?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cResearch suite.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you hear?\u201d<\/p>\n
She paused.<\/p>\n
\u201cVentilation. elevator bell. trains.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bell wrote PHILADELPHIA RAIL.<\/p>\n
Maria whispered, \u201cClaire, don\u2019t come.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t planning to.\u201d<\/p>\n
That was a lie.<\/p>\n
Daniel knew.<\/p>\n
He gave me a look.<\/p>\n
Maria continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cUse Laura\u2019s first half only when Dr. Shah understands the timing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot without the second.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCorrect.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWill you send it electronically?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause the protocol includes a biological calibration step.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat does that mean?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has to be matched to Sophie\u2019s current gene-expression profile.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCan Dr. Shah do that?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen send the instructions.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe algorithm is physically locked.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLaura designed it that way.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cApparently my mother loved difficult containers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maria almost laughed.<\/p>\n
Then I heard a door open.<\/p>\n
Voices.<\/p>\n
Voss again.<\/p>\n
The call ended.<\/p>\n
Bell immediately traced the partial signal.<\/p>\n
\u201cPhiladelphia medical district.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow many NorthStar properties?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThree.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eric entered behind us.<\/p>\n
\u201cFour.\u201d<\/p>\n
Everyone turned.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s an old diagnostics building near the rail corridor.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bell looked at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cAddress?\u201d<\/p>\n
Eric gave it.<\/p>\n
\u201cNorthStar sold it years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOn paper?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cReal owner?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA holding company.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bell started moving.<\/p>\n
Daniel caught my arm.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t said anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re going.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe has half the treatment Sophie may need.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBell has agents.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Sophie needs one parent in this hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n
I looked through the glass.<\/p>\n
She was awake.<\/p>\n
Watching us.<\/p>\n
That ended it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m staying.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel studied my face.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou mean that?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
This time I did.<\/p>\n
Bell left with a federal team.<\/p>\n
Eric remained.<\/p>\n
I sat beside Sophie.<\/p>\n
She held up a drawing.<\/p>\n
Three circles.<\/p>\n
One purple.<\/p>\n
One gray.<\/p>\n
One black.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s that?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMe, Grandma Laura and Kevin.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cKevin gets black?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s rude.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFair.\u201d<\/p>\n
She pointed at the gray circle.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma is in the middle.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo she can keep Kevin away.\u201d<\/p>\n
I had to look away.<\/p>\n
Sophie noticed.<\/p>\n
\u201cMom.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m okay.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what I say when I\u2019m not.\u201d<\/p>\n
I laughed softly.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re becoming annoying.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDaniel says I\u2019m advanced.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe would.\u201d<\/p>\n
She put the drawing down.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid Grandma know me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut she knew I might happen?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe knew I might have some of the same health problems women in our family had.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sophie thought.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid she try to fix it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid it work?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot completely.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid she die because she tried?\u201d<\/p>\n
There was no safe answer anymore.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe died after trying an experimental treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sophie was quiet.<\/p>\n
\u201cLike me.\u201d<\/p>\n
My chest tightened.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome of what\u2019s happening is similar.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you scared I\u2019ll die like her?\u201d<\/p>\n
I could not lie.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
She nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cMe too.\u201d<\/p>\n
I took her hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut your doctors know things hers didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you know the secrets now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMore of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
She leaned against me.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen maybe I have better odds.\u201d<\/p>\n
I kissed her hair.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re fighting for.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hours passed.<\/p>\n
No word from Bell.<\/p>\n
Dr. Shah restarted a reduced chemotherapy schedule once Sophie\u2019s swelling remained controlled.<\/p>\n
Kevin was shrinking.<\/p>\n
Slowly.<\/p>\n
The hCG level had begun to fall.<\/p>\n
That should have been the best news we had received.<\/p>\n
Instead it carried another problem.<\/p>\n
As tumor markers fell, Sophie\u2019s endocrine readings changed sharply.<\/p>\n
Dr. Shah frowned at the results.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHer hormone system is shifting faster than expected.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDangerous?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPotentially.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do we do?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMonitor closely.\u201d<\/p>\n
Again.<\/p>\n
Always monitor.<\/p>\n
At 2:11 a.m., Bell finally called.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe found the building.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMaria?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAlive.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cVoss?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGone.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe evacuated before entry.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid Maria leave with him?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
I exhaled.<\/p>\n
\u201cProtocol?\u201d<\/p>\n
Bell paused.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s gone.\u201d<\/p>\n
My body went cold.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean gone?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMaria says Voss took the second half.\u201d<\/p>\n
I stood.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen find him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re trying.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat treatment belongs to Sophie.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. You understand the sentence. You don\u2019t know what that means.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bell stayed silent.<\/p>\n
Then Maria came on the line.<\/p>\n
\u201cClaire.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou trusted him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe took it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou gave him access.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did he say?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat Samuel had already moved.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat does that mean?\u201d<\/p>\n
Maria\u2019s breathing caught.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said Samuel wasn\u2019t in custody anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
I turned toward the hallway.<\/p>\n
Bell said, \u201cClaire, we\u2019re confirming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Too late.<\/p>\n
An alarm sounded.<\/p>\n
Not from Sophie\u2019s monitor.<\/p>\n
From the secured wing.<\/p>\n
Daniel stood.<\/p>\n
Eric went pale.<\/p>\n
Footsteps thundered outside.<\/p>\n
A guard shouted.<\/p>\n
Then Samuel Hale appeared at the end of the corridor.<\/p>\n
No handcuffs.<\/p>\n
Blood on his shirt.<\/p>\n
Two security officers behind him.<\/p>\n
One unconscious.<\/p>\n
Samuel looked directly at me.<\/p>\n
\u201cVoss took the protocol.\u201d<\/p>\n
I stepped in front of Sophie\u2019s door.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not coming near her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Samuel stopped.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not here for Sophie.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why are you here?\u201d<\/p>\n
His expression hardened.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause Voss took Laura\u2019s sample too.\u201d<\/p>\n
A terrible understanding arrived.<\/p>\n
The sample.<\/p>\n
The second half.<\/p>\n
The calibration algorithm.<\/p>\n
He had everything needed to reconstruct the reversal.<\/p>\n
Everything except one living component.<\/p>\n
Samuel looked through the glass at Sophie.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe still needs Claire.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maria called ten minutes later. Bell routed the conversation through recording equipment. I did not care. \u201cWhere are you?\u201d \u201cSafe.\u201d \u201cWith Voss.\u201d Silence. \u201cThat means yes.\u201d \u201cThomas is helping me.\u201d … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12251,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-insightdrama"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12278"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12278\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12325,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12278\/revisions\/12325"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/12251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
