"I don’t know what is going on, but trust me, Doctor Athena, I never sent the gang members after you right after you called! What would I gain by doing that? I am the president of the country, for godsake! Why would I want to sabotage the mission? That’s unthinkable!"

President George declared hotly, in the face of the accusations being thrown at him by the team, now seated around the table down in the president’s secret office.

While they-the team-had been waiting in the van, communicating with Old Mr. Thorne about the situation on ground, the president’s men had arrived at the site.

These government agents had looked surprised about the turnabout of events and had sent information to the president, who had in turn demanded the presence of the team and their honest reports.

Moments later, after their arrival and recap of the day’s events, the president looked so red in the face that he might as well have been spitting fire.

"My chief aim as the president is to take care of the people, the amicable citizens who voted me into office. Why would I trash that noble duty to dust? Have you seen the news? Have you seen the statistics of deaths occurring on a daily basis?" He asked, his eyes flashing with barely contained fury and disgust.

"How in the hell can I be behind that?!" He shouted, finally losing it, hitting the table and causing the people surrounding him to jerk away, having not seen him like this before.

Sandro, who had made the accusation earlier—"Mr. President, they arrived right after the call with you. What do you have to say to that?"—shrank into his seat, hoping that his earlier words hadn’t earned him a day in state prison.

He looked at Ewan; the latter seemed to be having second thoughts too, about the president being behind the gang’s premature invasion. Could it be that Aiden was right when he spoke of a second player in motion?

Athena cleared her throat then, getting everyone’s attention, including the fuming president.

"We are sorry for levying such a heavy accusation against you, Mr. President," She started, giving Colt a gratifying glance, observing the latter’s restlessness and the urge to send the team scurrying out of the room and into a prison.

"But you can’t blame us. Earlier, when we discovered the room containing the drugs, it had been a tug of war even deciding to let you know. As you know, all the members of my team are not ordinary citizens, per se. They are men who have a role or two to play in the nation’s economy, vital components to the smooth running of the country; therefore, they’ve had their fair share of betrayal, to some extent."

A pause. "Hence, when we finally let you know about the situation on the ground, and then got visited by the gang mere minutes later, it was a natural flow for every hand to point toward you. Mr. President..."

Another significant pause.

"If Ewan hadn’t had a backup plan up his sleeve, we would have been dead meat. And we might have died believing that you had sold us out for mere profit. Of course, I understand your anger, especially if you are innocent..."

"He is innocent." Colt interrupted sharply. "There is no probability of a lie otherwise. The president is innocent, and you all will do well to..."

"Colt, that’s enough." President George announced, shutting Colt up. He turned to Athena. "I understand. Please continue..."

"Thank you, Mr. President." Athena nodded before gesturing to the members of her team. "We apologize for our misstatements, and I also suggest that we move past this and get into the troubling matter looming around us. Since you are innocent of this allegation, it means someone else has betrayed us, betrayed you. Can you attest to the hundred percent loyalty of your men?"

President George tucked his lips in, ruminating on this question. After a few beats of silence, he finally gave his answer.

"My answer a day ago would have been yes; I would have said that the men are a hundred percent loyal. But then, how else can we explain what has happened? Obviously, someone has sold us out..." He mentioned, looking around at his people, including the minister of health.
