Ascension Part V: Secrets
Myra studied Wyatt, his face, his eyes. He believed he was telling the truth. He continued, “I don’t think you or anyone could do what you’re doing if they knew the whole story. Let me keep doing what I’m doing so you can keep doing what you’re doing.” He looked into Myra’s eyes. “You really are helping people.” “What about the man those soldiers picked up on the beach? He was hurt.” Myra pointed out. “Now that he’s in military custody he’s getting medical attention. Everyone is safe now Myra. Let’s get back to work.” Myra watched as Wyatt waited for her to nod quietly, agree, and move on. She looked for something, some hint he might relent, come around. Eventually open up to her. She realized as she looked at him odds were good nothing was going to change. If she wanted the truth she was going to have to extract it from the media room herself. In order to do that she was going to have to make Wyatt believe that she swallowed his story for a little while longer.
