Telling Lincon and Greg
Prior to one of them asking about it, Philip had no intention of telling Lincoln or Greg about the anonymous letters. They questioned Philip’s knowledge of the plane and the lack of assistance from the authorities. However, he was surprised by Greg’s and Lincon’s responses when he described what had happened.
What was the worst thing that could happen?
When they realized what was going on, they became frightened and decided they didn’t want to finish their work. Philip then reminded them of the excitement and adventure they were experiencing. What was the worst that might occur? Philip enquired of them. But he was ignorant of what he is now aware of.
