Grant has been caught red-handed. I can just dance with joy at the look I see on his red-tinted face. I did not see him before but Dustin, standing behind Miss Jessica, is the first to comment, "Well, then. How 'bout dat."
I am finally able to let go of Karlie's hand and cross my arms in front of me, nothing but satisfaction clear on my face. "Tell us more, Grant," I say.
Miss Jessica, clutching her hands together despairingly, gathers her courage to step forward and asks in a small voice, "What f—fire weapons are you talking about, Aiden?"
It was my intention to find out who in Grant's crew knew about his secret plan (though I'm actually still unsure what it is in detail) but now seeing that Dustin and Jessica are as surprised as the rest of us, it is likely they didn't know about any of it either. They could just be acting, of course, but I doubt it.
