71. “Alaia swirls in decreasing circles”

I step out, head back towards the ocean and look at the elephant. “Hallo Dotty,” I whisper, give her a kiss and put her in my pocket.

Mini-synopsis of this mini-chapter 71:

Jaymi wanders to an island on a small lake. Alaia calls and confesses that Lucan’s message on the phone wasn’t just Angel’s exoneration: he also threatened to go public about the General Network’s spying into people, unless the company paid him off. She failed to relay this to Jaymi and Evelyn, because she thought that if she relayed it then Jason would simply buy Lucan’s silence and the spying project would stay secret, whereas if she kept quiet then Lucan would go public and the project would be sabotaged. She confesses to a childish resentment at the initial plan to keep her in the dark about the spying. She now fears, however, that her delay will be discovered and that Evelyn and Rik will think her duplicitous and weak. She runs through a neurotic set of possible outcomes. Saying he won’t tell, Jaymi conveys qualified forgiveness.
