Wrens POV

All of the remaining primes we're having a meal together. Including me. Even though they are all like 100's of years older then me. Russell is at the head of the table with Simone to his right and then me next to her. On his left it is Priya and then Ryker. We could all tell that Ryker was thinking about something. Russell decided to speak up.

"Ryker. Something in your mind" He asks. We all look at him and he looks at me then looks down.

"Yea um, I was just wondering when we started executing people again-" Ryker said but Simone interrupted him.

" oh spare us your equivocation Ryker." Simone says. Interrupting him in the process.

"What is that suppose to mean" he asks

"You know exactly what that means. The lives that were taken so that you could be here. Enjoying this meal. They didn't deserve to die. But yet know you have a problem wxacuting a criminal." she says. There yelling at each other know.

"Can we just eat are lunch in peace." Russell yells. Simone and Ryker look down at there feet l. Embarrassed.

"Please" he adds on but in a normal voice this time.

"We're all upset with what has happened" I say and they look at me.

"Hopefully nest time the two of you will include us in your decisions before they spiral out of control." Priya says adding onto what I said. We are then interrupted  by the doors opening. We all look to the people coming through the doors. It's 3 gaurds too of them dragging a man who I can't remember his name.

"Excuse me primes but the one they call Gaia has been found and captured. We have put her in with the others."

"Well done" Russell says. I look over at Ryker and relize that he looks scared and in shock to see who the person that they are dragging is.

"And what do we have here" Russell also says. He stands up and walks over to him.

"Sir his name is Tai, a null who clans to know where the last of them Echo is hiding." The guard says.

"So why bring home here" Ryker asks.

"He's afraid to talk sir. I thought he might be more inclined to do so with you all present." The guard answers. He looks at every single one of us slowly.

"A good thought. Bring him in" Russell says. The two guards holding Tai then walk forwards entill they are dieredtly in front of Russell. Simone gets up and stands next to him. I stay in my seat. I honestly do not feel like getting involved that much. Lexa and the other commanders keeps telling me not to get involved and they are pretty much always right so I listen to them. 

"Come sit tell us what you know. Are you hungry." He says asking Tai. Simone sits back nest to me. Russell goes back to the head of the table. Tai sits next to me. Simone gives him a look. He moves a bit away from me. I love a bit closer to Simone. She smiles at me.

"I should make this quick." He says Russell looks at me telling me to not say anything.

"Perhaps you would like to talk to one of us alone" Ryker says.

"Wren would you please excuse us for a moment and go to your room or the main hall" Russell says. He and I both know that this is about to get intense.

"Yes" I say quickly I stand up and walk away. Gald to get out of there. I run up to my room and change into a dress that is easier to run in.
