"I'm telling you, just let Adam know," Melanie pleaded in a low voice "His people have also been looking out for Melody, haven't they? Wouldn't that be easier?"
"Precisely because his people have been on the lookout for Melody," Dr. Jung interrupted, "that Cadence has been keeping a close eye on every one of them. Anything they do-any movement, any call, any contact- it'll all be under scrutiny. If we involve Adam now, Cadence will be alerted. And if he catches even a whiff of this attack, he will insist on launching his own investigation and bringing you back to his side. So, there is no way we can use Adam or his people."
He exhaled sharply and looked at her. "We can't let that happen. We have to get you into the Thomas household before Cadence discovers what really happened. If he starts asking questions, things could spiral out of control very quickly."
Just then, the guard returned to the room and Dr. Jung immediately turned to face him.
