If they could have, if they were already under our noses, why wait to ambush us? Not like any of us are in control around here. We're ripe for the picking, aren't we, all gathered together like this?
[ Of course, the longer she takes here...the longer she's away from where she's really needed. She knows that, but Vi hates the idea of abandoning anyone again. ]
