Despite her assurances that she would cooperate, the NSB agents continued to hover around Jaime. In spite of their presence, she caught Oscar's eye the moment she entered the room. She cringed upon seeing the pain and anguish in his face. He knew how much she wanted to be free of the system. But in his eyes she also saw the obvious relief of seeing her safe.
Jaime felt her heart breaking as she saw his conflicting emotions.
"I'm okay," she began to say, but as she started to cross the room, one of the NSB agents grabbed her arm.
"You need to come with us."
Jaime pulled angrily away. "There's something that I need to do first."
Hansen stepped between Jaime and the agent. " You can talk with Goldman later." He said, not unkindly. "But for now you need to meet with Senator Renshaw.
Jaime glared at him. "Might I have a chance to make myself presentable?"
Hansen hesitated. "Okay, a half hour. No more."
As Jaime looked over to Oscar, he nodded. "It's okay. I'll be waiting."
