When Luke told me of the new developments, my heart broke. I had worked really hard to get into the army. Although I joined the academy because of Caleb, I gained a lot. I proved that I could do whatever I set my heart out to do. To have my life toyed with this way was wrong, but I knew Luke was already having it hard and showing disappointment or anger towards him over something he had no control over was wrong. Instead of giving him a hard time, I smiled and let him know I was okay with it. I could tell he was relieved by my response.

Luke got off the bed, butt naked, went to the sitting room, picked up a file from the couch, and brought it to me. He handed it to me and sat next to me.

“My father said I should study this with you,” he said, and I frowned at him, wondering why. “For starters, someone tried to link the arsenal attack to me,” he said, and I laughed.

‘Ridiculous,” I said, and he nodded.

“My father knows, but who will do it and why?” he said, and I understood where he was heading.

He claimed there have been several attacks on all our lives, and he can link them to be from one and the same source.

There was something odd about her too. Her persistence and disregard for warnings indicated that she was desperate. It was as if she had locked her eyes on a price, aiming to get it at all costs. Her level of dedication, determination and willpower was that of someone older with a lot to lose and limited time to achieve their goal. I began to wonder how she was brought up and the quality of life she must have had growing up. She looked so much like Stacy that if I did not know better, I would think she was Stacy’s daughter, but
