Trouble is not back at school on Monday. At lunch, Bella sits with Andi who sits with Robin who sits with Ethan.
"What, are you going to go to a meeting and check them out?"
"There's press about them. Nice newsy 'the Sharing cleaned up this highway' or 'the Sharing is raising money for cancer research'. Some negative press, especially from the earlier days. Almost invariably followed by retractions. And the same article authors saying nice things later."
"I couldn't tell from the articles - 'I personally have joined this organization' doesn't qualify as news, I guess - but it sounds like it."
"It is," says Andi. "Maybe you'd better not go look at it, Ethan."
"It might be slightly safer to ask your parents?" Andi says dubiously.
"Not if I can avoid it. And they do the same for me. It's a very tidy system."
"Huh, no wonder they haven't bothered you to join up, I guess."
"Yeah, I might have a heart attack from shock and then their cult would never get me."
