Jon said, "Stevie, there's still
time for you to convince Senator Bellardi—or at least try to convince him—to
come clean and not cover up the fact that his son is AntiCrist."
"And you think I'm the one to do the convincing," she responded. Jon
nodded. "The senator knows you and trusts you. You're in the inner circle
of his campaign."
"He doesn't really know me, Jon.
I'm just another gear in the machine." "But he must realize by now
that you're an important part of his son's life. I think he'll listen to
you." "Maybe," she said. "But what am I supposed to say to
make sure he follows through? 'Tell the world about Wes or I'll spill the whole
story'—would that work?"
Jon verbalized what they both knew.
"You can't make him do anything, Stevie. And blackmailing him won't change
his heart. But the truth spoken respectfully, lovingly, and humbly just
might."
