To pass this information to someone like Caisson … If we’re discovered, we’ll be arrested for treason.”
“They wouldn’t arrest us. Who’d order it – China? China wouldn’t arrest us.”
“Not without good reason. Which this would be.”
Valkyrie looked at the crowd, then raised an eyebrow. “And what, do you think, would the punishment be for breaking into Greymire Asylum?”
