"Either one of you know what this big meeting's all about?" Jackson asked as grace and beth held a look

"What would we know" beth said

" I heard there was a coup. Webber's out. Shepherd's in." Charles said

"Is that true? " reed sdked

"Don't you have your own loser friends to talk to? " Alex said

"He is my friend" Grace said

" Yeah, tell that to webber." Alex said
