A month and a half of debriefing, first with Jack Wade, then when orders came down from higher-up, in Langley.
Four months in what could pass for a moderately comfortable hotel room, if she ignored the wire in the windows.
Three days waiting around for a judge to see her, in a closed-chamber hearing.
Natalya always expected Wade to testify on her behalf, but James is a surprise. It doesn't take long for the judge to decide to award her permanent resident card.
And then she's free.
It's terrifying, but she can handle fear. It's time to learn to fly.
