Jane knew that there was going to be a rescue attempt, which was why she was in the back of the transport with other metas. Not because the government knew about the resistance’s plans, but because she insisted that having a fellow meta there who could be a positive representative for the government would help keep everyone else calm. Not that she believed anything she had said to convince them to let her travel with them.

As soon as the doors were closed, Jane pressed a button on a small device, and anything listening in on them was shut off. Nothing but static on those other ends.

She kept the conversation to light small talk, assuring them that they would not be harmed, that this was just protocol for everyone’s safety. At the same time, she was passing around a series of notes explaining that she was with the resistance and they were getting out of here.

“What about you?” one of those being transported asked.

At that, Jane smiled. “I do important work. I hate that I’m going to have to go back to it after this. A coffee break would be nice.”

In other words, Shaun and Georgia didn’t know that she was a mole … and had to stay.

But they’re ready when the grenade hits the truck. Everyone springs into action, using their powers to help shield others, get them going, avoid government agents coming to recapture them, and get to the safety of the resistance.
