"Why didn't you say that before, Gayle?" Cecilia exclaimed.
"Calm down and be quiet," Gayle scolded Cecilia, and Cecilia clasped her hand over her mouth before nodding. "It's not that easy. It's not like a light switch that you can just flick on. It will take time for me to show you how to do it."
"We don't have that much time. There's no telling what he plans to do or when he plans to do it," Cecilia retorted. "We need to get a message out as soon as possible. He could have us out of the city for all we know!"
"If he wanted to kill you, he would've done it by now. I've seen what he does to people that aren't worth his time. We are worth his time and attention. Whatever sick plot he has planned, he is going to take his time to get the desired results that he wants," Gayle replied. She couldn't tell her that Oscar intended to torture her. He heavily implied doing it, but telling her would make it even more real than it was. Gayle needed Cecilia to be calm.
