The thought of what TRIDENT could have already done to Tommy makes Wanda's stomach clench, but she quickly pushes that to the back of her mind. She's livid, but there's time for revenge later. After these children are safe.

"Tommy, I do understand. But I need you to trust me for now. Your friends are involved, whether they wanted to be or not, and they can not stay here. I need to at least bring them in for a few days, just until Alpha Force can assess the situation. I don't think I need to tell you how serious this is, but maybe your friends don't understand the danger they could be in? I can try not to spook them, but... it's not a good situation."

She doesn't want to think of what her Alpha Force teammates will say when she shows up with three kids who refuse to have anything to do with CONDOR. Yet another thing to deal with later.
