Emergence Meeting

As soon as the Crown Prince left their station, Poul immediately convened an emergency meeting in the private room. Inside were Caroline, Jonathan, Sara, and him.

"Shit I think the Crown Prince knows," Jonathan said, shaking his head. "I always have taken into account that this could have happened, and it will happen. Poul, I thought your plan was foolproof?" 

"The Crown Prince knows nothing, Jonathan, and calm down. He is simply posturing, trying to get a reaction from us," Poul countered. "Look, if the Crown Prince really knows, then he wouldn't waste his time talking to us and would immediately incarcerate us." 

"Then what should we do? If the world found out about your secret, our company, our reputation that we have built for the last nine years would be over. Imagine the anger of every British citizen thrown at you," Jonathan exclaimed, his voice filled with desperation.
