We were discussing it in this thread, but Jonas never seems to respond to us, so I was hoping you'd deliver the message, just to make sure he gets it. I'll just quote what mincartaugh and I had to say:
I wrote:Oh, and try not to assume the worst of Alex right now. You don't know all the circumstances around why she went with the Order. You don't know she's bad. Not for sure. Not yet.
mincartaugh wrote:I, too, think Alex hasn't been given her day in court. Your temper did you no favor that day. As before, you blew up and dragged the calmer head along with you. Daniel was trying to get information from her when you pulled that stupid stunt.
Consider this. If there is a new girl--and it's beginning to look like it might be true--what possible motive did Alex have for betraying you to the Order? What possible motive did the Order have for coming to collect you? Isn't it far more likely that they were coming to grab Alex whom they thought betrayed them? And now that they have her, what do you suppose is her life expectancy?
I wrote:To add to what mincartaugh said, if they wanted to either take or kill you, Bree and Daniel, and Alex actually did betray you, why didn't she poison your food? Burn the house down while you guys slept? Let the Orderites in to take/kill you in the middle of the night?
You really need to give her the benefit of the doubt.
Please be sure Jonas gets these - and try to get him to think about it! Also, you might want to show Daniel too. He's pretty bummed out. Though I'm sure he's going to be feeling like crap either way ... since - if she is good and went with Lucy for a good reason - that would mean she's in danger.
Thanks, Bree.
