Road to Ruin... or Redemption?

So, it seems our little band of rebels has made it back to the Land of Angels. Well, most of them, anyway. We still haven't heard from little miss Hymn of None since the... um... hotel scene with Jonas and his 'promise'.

I'm not sure how they all arrived, but fortunately it looks like at least Sarah and Reed got some money together for airfare since it seems that they had been back in LA since at least Tuesday. I do want to make sure that I've made myself clear that they seem to be back in LA. For all we know, they could have high-tailed it to someplace that looked like LA.

... but I digress, I'll try to make myself content that they are actually in LA.

When we last left our heroes... Reed was waiting in the park where Jonas had set up the rendezvous... Now, wait... wasn't Sarah also included on that invite list? Where was she? Anyway, Reed gets visibly nervous when no one shows up (wouldn't we all were we in Reed's shoes?) Suddenly, by cue, right after Reed asks that someone call him, he gets a call... Who was it? Reed had to go get whoever was on the other end.

Heh, as I'm writing this, another video has been posted. Looks like well get an answer, here.

o_o......' *sighs* Looks like meltdown has resumed. Well, on the bright side, we know where all of our major pieces are. Maggie's back on the sidelines. I'm kinda glad she is, though it was good to see her while that lasted.

I do think that she was a little harsh on Jonas in what she said. Yes, a leader should stand strong and firm; should always be prepared, but sometimes no matter how much you can prepare for something, the best offense is a blind one.
Maybe Jonas did think things through a bit more than you realize, Maggie. Had Jonas really tried to plan things out, you know Reed would have been with him and Sarah. Had that been the case, who would have been able to bail all three of them out, without having to reveal their position? Estelle?

Jonas did kinda get his just rewards for it, though. A nice straight right from Reed. He had it coming, but if Jonas had contacted Reed beforehand, you know that Reed would have come running to try to support our 'mighty' leader.

Stop being so hard on the guy, he IS trying... I think he knows what is at stake here, there is no need to remind him about it over and over again. All that does is remind your leader, the one who you should support the MOST, of all his failures and shortcomings. By no means do you need to kiss his ass (you should never do that, either) but it doesn't help if your leader is always worried that the next mission will fail...
