Chapter 32

The important question is, though, if they decide to trust Frank or not. Normally, no. They wouldn’t just trust information from somebody and certainly not when they’ve threatened Mica’s life.

However, this was a special case. Wes would agree that they’ve been tenser with the kids there. He’ll also admit to having a soft spot for would-be victims of sacrifice and even the awkwardly blunt Frank was growing on him. And the kids already aren’t too appreciative of Ollie and Wes’s methods. They’re going to have to talk about that at some point.

None of this is objective. There is a lot of liking people on various bases. Those are judgments that are susceptible to change. They need facts, something tangible to even be able to begin to trust him.
