Kingdom Keepers V (9781423153429)
“There was no other sound in the room except for Finn’s expectant breathing as he awaited his mother’s decision. He’d taken a big risk including her, and they both knew it. But without her participation and blessing, the mission Wayne had assigned him would require him to lie and cheat. At least this way if he broke the rules she would know why.

“But if it’s not reasonable in the first place, how am I supposed to change it?”
“I’m not asking you to change it. I’m asking you to decline the request in the first place so we don’t have to deal with it.”
“So I’m just supposed to tell him no?” Wouldn’t Wayne just turn to Philby if Finn declined an assignment?
