Love the story overall and especially the interaction and character dialogue! I'm looking expectantly to seeing what kind of a plan Jack and team can possibly come up with to challenge Julia. My guess is that she is already 2 (giant) steps ahead of them and is just waiting for them to make their move. I can't see her killing them as much as I could see her recapturing them and crushing their spirits. I could see her doing something like forcing Brian and Gina to live together as husband and wife to create a family for the baby, destroying Jack's attachment to Gina. That's more Julia's style and she's shown herself to be very creative when dealing with and teaming her little charges. Thanks for writing.
