Alex is accused of being apart of the conspiracy

She's been put in jail. Tom knows she didn't do what she's accused of but for the sake of the country he needs to keep quiet.

I didn't need to have all the information to know what was happening to me.

"I promise! I DIDN'T DO THIS! TOM! TELL THEM! Tom?" I searched the room frantically for my husband and found him sitting at the front of the room. He was with the other officials. The ones who had found me guilty for something I didn't even do.

"Tom? Please talk to me. Please. You know I am NOT a traitor. You know." He'll help me. Get me out of this godforsaken place.

I heard her scream to me. For me to help her. I could. I have the power to. But, I can't. In order for this all to work everyone needs to believe that we believe Alex is the traitor, or at least one of them. I feel horrible for having her put through this without telling her the truth.

"Remember Mr. President, it won't work if she knows. This has to look real or someone might catch on. I'm know you want to help her but you can't right now. I do promise that she'll be fine. We have security inside with her." I heard Mike whisper from behind me.

All I could pay attention to was the look in her eyes. She stared at me like I was the traitor. And I realized that I was. I was letting her pay the price for someone else. She's sitting in a jail cell just so our plan can be carried out. We've made the entire country believe she a traitor. And I can't even communicate with her about the truth.

"What do I do?" I ask anyone.

"Talk to her. They said she's been asking for you."

"Of course she has. I'm her husband and I've let her to rot in a prison without any word. I'm surprised she even wants to speak to me." I muttered as I walked up to the desk she was being handcuffed to.

"Hey." I tried to start a conversation.

"Hey." I heard him say. Whisper really. Like he was scared or something. He wouldn't even come visit me!

"Hey?! That's all you have to say? HEY?! No, 'How are you?' or 'I'm sorry I've ignored your last five days worth of phone calls'? I'm stuck in this shithole with no one. No one! The people here think I'm a traitor. I hear the whispers. I hear everything! What do you want from me? I've given you guys a lie detector test and I've sat three interrogations. I'm not some anti American. I've passed all the tests. I want to go home and see my children. That's all I want. Please let me come home." I couldn't hold in the tears anymore.

He sighed and reached out to grab my hands. I pulled them back. I didn't want him touching me anymore. He's betrayed me.

"Don't touch me!"

"I'm sorry Alex. Really. The evidence we've gotten so far point to you. I have to believe it."

I decided to ignore the last comment and ask about my kids. I missed them.

"Can I at least see the children?" Surely they wouldn't keep them from me. Right?

"I'm sorry but for safety reasons we can't allow the children in." Some man chimed in.

My face fell. What if the last time my children saw mewas through a police car window?

"Well, thanks so much Tom. What a wonderful husband you are. I'm so lucky to have you. You decide to put me behind bars based on whatever evidence you claim to have. I just can't believe how lucky I am." I sneered at him.

I can tell from the look on her face that she was almost broken. I didn't want that. They were supposed to protect her in there. I can't believe I didn't even think about her possibly wanting to see the children.

"Babe... I'm sorry about the kids. I'll see if they can come next time for you." Her face lit up for a few seconds then darkened once again.

"And then they'll be taken from me and I won't see them for another week. I'll still be here, I'll still be force fed garbage. Everyone will still believe I betrayed my country. And it's worse because of who my HUSBAND is. Five minutes won't do anything to help. How much more do I have to prove myself to you? Tom you said you loved me. That you'd never let lies come between us. But you did nothing to stop them from taking me that night. I saw you watching from your office that night. As I was being handcuffed and forced into squad car. You did NOTHING. Please just let the kids come next time. You can stay home. I don't want to see you anymore." She said. She was crying and I wanted to wipe her tears but knew I couldn't.

"We're trying to figure out the truth. And obviously you're apart of it. I'm really sorry Alex but it's just protocol." There wasn't much I could say to her to make her feel better I know.

She wasn't looking at me anymore so I got up, leaned in and gave her a kiss on her forehead. I left a gift in her hand. Just because they wanted me to play this little game didn't mean I was going to play it their way...

"Open when you get to your room." I whispered.

I couldn't stand to look at him and I wanted to so badly. I love him but he obviously doesn't love me the same way. As he got up to leave he kissed my head and grabbed my hand. Slipping something into my hand he whispered "Open when you get to your room."

What?
