“It was terrible,” Mirielle said. “But Daniel started calling me, starting showing me a way out.”
“When was this?” Chloe asked.
“As I stated, from the moment I laid eyes upon the MacKenzies,” Daniel said. “I have been working behind the scenes since the first contact with Rob.”
“And you didn’t think it was necessary to tell us?” Phillip said.
“Your participation could have jeopardized my maneuvering,” Daniel said. “As it turns out, your participation was the only thing that I was able to accurately predict. The vast majority of my private time over the last three weeks has been in adjusting the plan to account for unforeseen behavioral variances.”
“If we knew we were part of the plan, we would have acted with the plan,” Chloe said.
“I disagree,” Daniel said. “Knowing you were part of a greater gambit would have altered your behavior to too significant of a degree. It is the same principle which we employ during the testing of our prospective students.”
“Dammit, Daniel, you used us,” Phillip said. “You’re just as bad as Alex.”
“On the contrary, Phillip,” Daniel said. “We are still working together, and we are both accomplishing our goals. In all honesty, if my actions constitute using you, then your actions also constitute using me.”
