I don't know. [ Her voice is hard-edged. ] We need time to figure this out, and we don't have time. We have until Thursday. If we don't figure out a solution before then, someone else will have to die. I don't have much time left, either. I have been bluffing about having a different role to ... certain people. None of them could keep their mouths shut, so word is spreading. Soon enough they'll figure out that someone is lying about being the item role, and I have no doubts they will kill me when they realize the truth. I need to stay alive, Bellamy. I can't do anything to help end this from wherever everyone has been going when we kill them off.

I have just one idea. I should have a decent amount of whatever passes for credit with the Chiefs. I can try and use this influence to drag a solution out of them.
