It has been fun hearing the different British words and culture as she has gotten to know you, and has been inspired by your friendship to learn more about your country! P.S. Toad in the Hole is in the oven, and Banoffee Pie is in the fridge! :-)

I like that idea. What I was going to have happen was Verna was going to arrange for him to go undercover again and help him escape to his family. He's still apart of Cobolt but he, like Verna, is working undercover in an effort to keep the chip hidden.

The thing is, if Verna helps she'd be killed as a traitor too because Hurst would find out. We can use either and figure out a way to make them both work. It's up to you really.

But I don't want to completely throw out your idea. I still want Mark to be part of Cobolt. He's been under cover all this time. It would make sense for him to go back. I don't know

If Mark were to escape and head home I think that's where Cobolt would go looking for him first. Maybe he could pretend to cooperate or something and Verna could convince Hurst to let him work at the airline if Mark was truly 'changed.'

"She's napping now but she's doing much better. I know there are a couple of sick boys down at the hospital right now so I didn't want to send her down before tomorrow while she was still contagious." -Lisel
