Status: Closed, Complete

Zadkiel had every intention of getting to Ray's Boathouse early, but the city continued to defeat his sense of direction (which he'd always thought of as being quite good), and he only just barely made it on time.

He stepped inside and walked up to the podium where a man in a suit stood, looking down his nose. The man looked him up and down, taking in his slightly wrinkled jacket, khakis with the discolored bottoms (even though he'd just washed them) and his Converse sneakers. He hesitated long enough that Zadkiel started to feel uncomfortable.

"I'm here to meet with Katherine Athena?" he managed. "Sir," he added belatedly.

"This way," the man said, leading him into the dining room. Zadkiel followed obediently, his eyes just ahead of him, feeling terribly conspicuous.

	"I could make a few guesses," Katherine paused. "But no, I don't actually know." She studied him in return, her eyes trying to determine how honest his earnest exterior was. "In response to your first question, yes. I suppose you are correct. Ultimately, however, I've always believed in free will whether you consider that a question of law, faith or conscience."

She didn't know. Zadkiel breathed a sigh of relief and took another sip of wine. It meant, at least for the moment, his family was still safe. Although it seemed that the community was now in agreement with the government, or vice versa, so perhaps even if they were discovered, it wouldn't go badly for them. He was the one in danger now, no matter where he went. The only way he stood a chance of maintaining any semblance of freedom was by agreeing to do what this woman asked.

"You said at the meeting that you wanted the group of us to be the public face of Wild Cards, or something like that. But you chose me because the government knows nothing of me." He wasn't sure how to form the contradiction into a question.
