Grace celebrated a birthday. However, this year there was only one thing that Grace wished for and that was to somehow stop the asteroid intent on hitting earth. So Grace wasn’t excited or even as happy as she usually was to get a cupcake from her daughter this year because she didn’t if they would be a next year yet Grace was putting her money on tech billionaire Darius Tanz. She had asked if not dared him to find a way to save the human race and he had come up with a grand plan that required a lot of money as well as a lot of uranium.
Yet, Darius had only asked the DOJ for the money. He said that he would need two billion dollars to start building an EM Drive which was best described as an electromagnetic rocket. So Darius had wanted to build one of those and then use it to throw the asteroid off its course. And so someone pointed out that Newton’s Laws had ruled out an EM Drive ever working. Except Darius said that all laws were meant to broken like Newton had broken Aristotle’s so he asked the DOJ to just let him build the damn thing and they agreed to giving some of what he asked for.
They couldn’t get him the full amount because that required going through congress and telling the whole world what was happening. But they all agreed that they could give him half of his asking price and that he could find funding somewhere else. So Darius took what he could and the second he had a moment alone with Liam and Grace he asked Grace to get him the uranium. He reminded her that she had access to the Deputy’s key card and that the Deputy had could “sign off” on getting him the uranium.
So Grace of course had said no. She told Darius that he was crazy and that she didn’t want to commit treason, but she eventually had a change of heart when she found out that her good friend Walter was dead because she thought he died because of her. Walter was the tech friend that had showed satellite images from the failed government test run and so Grace thought he had been murdered for looking at that file. Though she wasn’t the only one that thought the government might have killed him.
There was also a journalist sniffing around. She worked for the gossip sites and had been interested in why Darius had been seen going to the DOJ and leaving it upset however a low-level tech guy at the DOJ was found murdered a mere two days after Darius’s abrupt meeting and the government looked like they were covering it up. The body was released to the family without an official autopsy report and that was despite Walter’s case being a murder. But the journalist had also known a few things that Grace hadn’t.
Amanda had found out that Walter had called his sister and told her that if anything happened to him it was because of Project Atlas. However, Grace and didn’t what Project Atlas was and she had been warned against ever repeating it when she had tried to ask Deputy Secretary Harris. Harris and Grace were in a relationship so she thought that she could ask yet he told her that there were still a few things above her clearance and that she should forget the whole matter with Walter. So Grace had lost whatever allegiance she still had for him once she realized she couldn’t trust him.
She had been warned before by Darius about Harris and so she later offered to help him get his uranium. Yet, Grace wasn’t the only with a mission. Liam had been sent back to Boston to get as much on his professor’s work with the EM Drive and that had placed him in dangerous situation as well. There were still people watching the professor’s place and so Liam did his best to sneak in, but still he was seen and someone sent a mysterious text message that told him to get out now because they were coming for him. And so he ran.
Liam got out of there and he thought about leaving that very second. But he got a message from Jillian. Jillian had published her first novel and she was holding a reading so she wanted to know if he could stop by. So he did the next best thing. He paid people to go to the reading and gave her the packed audience she needed to boost her confidence. And it was while he was watching the reading from the outside that his professor ran into him. Professor Malcom Croft had been the one to send the text message and he wanted to protect Liam because he knew Liam was right.
He double-checked the findings and had been looking into the EM Drive himself when his security system alerted him to the break-in. So the professor got out of there because he didn’t know if he was safe and he had tried to warn Liam of that as well, but he didn’t need to bother. Liam had told Croft that he could take him to Darius and that Darius would come them safe. Though it turns out that the guy they thought was following them from Boston had been Darius’s security detail that he sent to “protect” Liam.
But the truth of the matter was that Darius was spying on Liam. He wasn’t sure if Jillian was going to be a problem for him and so he sent someone to monitor Liam’s actions. So Darius wasn’t the guy that Liam thought he was and, while he may have told Grace that there was no way any could trace what they did, he discounted Harris. Harris had eventually found out that Grace had been going through his things and he knew that Darius had helped keep him busy by needed him to pitch a billionaire heiress for extra funding on the very same night that he found Grace’s earrings in his briefcase.
THE END!
