Stevie glared at Robert, "That's
not right. It's against everything we stand for. The senator must tell the
whole story about Wes being AntiCrist. The people need to know the truth."
To withhold the truth—all of it—is the same as perpetrating a lie. When the
people of North California finally find out about Wes—and they will—they're
going to ask, 'When did you know he was gay? When did you know he was the
terrorist? When did you know he was starving for his father's love?' What will
you tell them then, Robert? What will Daniel Bellardi say to his faithful
constituents then?"
If the senator doesn't tell the whole truth and publicly own up to his failures with Wes, the people will have every right to disbelieve everything else he says. And they'll have every right to impeach him for his lack of integrity."
"If they find out," Robert
said softly. Stevie weighed the words. "You're talking cover-up."
"No, I'm saying that we must be certain of the complete truth before we
say anything." Stevie ran her fingers through her hair, considering his
words, then shook her head. "Call it what you want, Robert. It's still a
bald-faced cover-up and you know it. It's not right. The senator must be
completely transparent about this entire fiasco."
