After checking in with Meagan and Shane, both of whom were very busy kicking butt, she made her way out of the building and across one of the expansive fields that bordered the facility.

The Clandestine Saga What to Do
Cadence listened to every word Jamie said, taking all of it into consideration. She realized that Aaron was very much a rule follower; everything was black or white. Living in a world where the rules were shifting and bending had to be unsettling. “Answer me this,” Cadence said, turning around so that she was sideways now, facing him, one leg tucked under the other. “If the roles were reversed—if Aaron had died and Elliott had lived, do you think that Elliott would use the portal?”Jamie didn’t hesitate. “Absolutely.”
