Harmonia faced Zoey. “Take me to the extraction room, or this man dies.” Zoey looked to Will. She prided herself on not having to rely on him in situations like this or, really, any other. But he still had far, far more experience than she did in this kind of thing. There was a long pause while Will looked back and forth from Harmonia to the man she was holding hostage with her butterflies and then to Wu, who seemed poised to cut the woman down if some kind of resolution could not be reached in the next five seconds or so.
I'm already bored with this contrivance. Her team has allowed all this to get to this point...why exactly? For the "jokes"?
