RoB- what the....

Jill stares back at Lina Dontay with equal parts disbelief and admiration.Of course, she knows everything; Lina is one of the most powerful women in the world and controls the global clandestine group of which La Femme Fatale nightclub is only a small piece. Ms.Lina discloses a secret.She has had Jill continually protected yet spied on since weeks before Jill's branding.Ms. Lina's chosen ones are intensely scrutinized and monitored, and Jill's security system and computer safeguards pale next to Lina's resources.Ms.Lina has had daily updates about Jill's whereabouts and actions for years, and Lina also shares that she is doing the same with Anais.Ms. Lina quietly goes through Jill's litany of issues, and admonishes Jill to tell nobody what she is about to confide. Although, Lina condones Jill's revenge on Joeffry, too many innocent people died in the explosion. The reopening of the police investigation "will be handled, but is very inconvenient, " in Lina's words. Despite murdering very bad men,Jillian's covert kill team knows too much about its employer and can complicate and possibly expose the heretofore underground network of branded women. The Minotaur is another of Lina's branded, and the message sent to Anais was to put Anais - and Jill - on notice. Ms. Lina has become wary of Jill's reckless behavior, and has seriously considered Jill's demise, but she thinks of Jill like a petulant daughter who needs chastening, and won't order the hit.As it is, Anais, and her confidantes will meet with a fatal mishap soon.She broke the illicit society's vows and told at least two nonmembers about the Querencia. Jill is held responsible for Anais' reckless action, but the Anais situation will be "contained". However, Ms. Lina will not tolerate one more misstep by Jill. Ms.Lina has disposed of Alina and Myrtle, and will soon be able to do the same with Pauline and Sharon. Jill wonders what will become of Evelynn- who knows everything, except about the veiled meanings of the branded rings and the unconditional loyalty and secrecy mandated by membership.It's as if Ms. Lina has read Jillian's thoughts."Oh," Lina declares, " Evelynn will be ok. I know that she is your closest friend and has worked intimately with you for many years,but she has worked much longer for me."
