“You will more than likely have to give an official statement,” I tell her.
“I will need your cellphone,” says Flint.
“But I deleted everything.”
“I still need it,” Flint tells her. “We might still be able to pull something from the device.”
She nods, getting up and disappearing into the hallway. Within half a minute, she’s back and hands a cellphone to him.
“I’ll go and pack,” she tells us. “Will you watch Katie for a few minutes?”
“Of course,” I say.
“I’m going to the bedroom, baby.”
“Okay, Mommy.” Katie doesn’t even look up from the puzzle she has just started building.
“You need to get to the hospital,” Flint says to me. “Reed is going to start asking questions soon.”
I heave out a sigh. “I need to be on this.”
“I’ll handle it. You need to finish your assignment.”
I scrub a hand over my face. “I found classified information in a pouch in Dr. Keller’s bathroom.”
Flint mutters a curse under his breath.
“It’s been made to look like she’s stashed it there, ready to smuggle out when the coast is clear.”
“Have you told Reed?”
I shake my head.
“You can’t sit on this.”
“I know, but I also know that Robyn is innocent.”
“Is that your dick talking?” Flint asks under his breath.
“No.” I shake my head.
He gives me a look.
“It isn’t. She isn’t working for the Mainland. She’s the most passionate person I’ve ever met. Robyn loves her job. Loves saving lives. I know she’s been framed, just like Magma. There are a couple of places at the hospital I haven’t checked yet, and I have a bad feeling about what I am going to find. Then I’ll be forced to turn it in.”
“You go to the hospital, and I’ll try to find out who this mystery person is that Rachael met with. We might just have enough to convince Reed and the rest of the Council to hold off on arresting your doctor.”
I nod once.
“You can’t keep sitting on your hands, or you’ll get into serious trouble.”
“I’m not sure I can turn her in. I feel like an asshole.”
“You shouldn’t have gotten into bed with her.”
“I know,” I push out.
“Do you have feelings for her?”
