“I’m planning to fake my death during my upcoming mission. I’ll leave behind some trouble for them to be preoccupied with, so that you can sneak out and come with me on the mission.” Angie shared more details of her plan.
“Does everyone on the mission know of this?” Her mother pulled back from the hug to discuss more seriously.
“I’ve told them but they haven’t decided yet.”
Her mother frowned.
“Don’t worry. Even if they don’t go, they’re trustworthy. They won’t blab.”
“Do they… Know?”
Angie shook her head.
Her mother sighed in relief. “You know… Since we’re leaving… We could cause a breach in the military’s security and let them get ravaged by all those monsters out there.” Her eyes sparkled like a little child.
It was on the tip of Angie’s tongue to reject her, because what was done to her was not so bad as to warrant that kind of revenge. Then, she remembered that her mother had gone through far, far, worse.
“That’s a good idea.” Angie smiled.
