Lex had come over as soon as Jake called him. Katie had asked Marie to let Quentin stay for dinner with them while they sorted this out. Jana had come with him too, putting all their heads together about it would be better than three.

"If we just talk to her-" Katie spoke before Lex interrupted.

"-this women doesn't listen to reason. She twists things. Like outing Cannerts on live television. This women is not afraid to throw people under the bus. But it was the three of them. Cannerts, Burns and Loomers. They created the virus"

"Why would she tell you she was going to wipe out the Cordon? Surely she knows with that knowledge your not just going to sit on it" Jake stated.

"She plays games Jake" Lex answered, they were all sat at the kitchen table, "its like she wants me to fight her on it"

"I don't understand this women" Katie shook her head, "so no one else knows about her plans right now apart from you?"

Jana leaned forward onto the table, "And now us"

"She wants this" Jake spoke, "she knows it will get a rise out of you. A fight. Again probably making it look like shes the good guy in all of this. Jesus Christ this women's a twisted bitch"

"But people must realise that's not the answer. The cure is the answer. Its possible. Cannerts was on to it with Thomas. He cant be the only one who has the antibodies to fight this thing" Katie spoke and a silence fell over the room.

Lex looked at Jana and she nodded to him. Jake knew that look. He had known Lex for a long time to know something else was going on, "What aren't you telling us?"

Out the corner of his eye Jake noticed Katie look at him quickly. He could read his best friend too well. Katie wouldn't have noticed that little communication with Jana.

Lex sighed, "Its not the only plan she has"

Jake raised his eyebrows, "I don't get it. If one doesn't work, she has a back up?"

"More like she has two options" Jana answered, her eyes staying on Lex, "you need to tell them"

"Whats going on?" Katie asked. He heard the worry in her voice and he hated it. They were throwing themselves back into this. It was dangerous. But it was something they both had to do. Jake saw from the reaction Katie first had about it. She had passion and fight. It was one of the reasons he fell in love with her. They had talked so much about stopping it. But not how.

Lex looked to them both, "Your right. The cure is the answer. Right now Lommers is trying to work out which one would favour her more"

Jake frowned, this wasn't making sense to him. Of course the cure would favour her more, but how did that reflect on her? She country didn't know she helped create it, it was down to Cannerts in everyone else's eyes, "Stop talking cryptically Lex. Spit it out-"

"-she has the cure Jake" it hit him. Words didn't come. The room was deadly silent. Lex squeezed his hands together in a wringing motion and a sadness came over his face, "she's had the God damn cure all along"
