Summary
The plan to rescue the hostages was a success, with the remaining Victors finally able to take shelter in District Thirteen. Among them is also a certain former Gamemaker and long-time informant captured by Snow during his escape from the Capitol. Or someone who looks very much like him, at any rate. Haymitch just has to make sure.

Summary
“I can’t sleep,” Haymitch ends up fumbling. “There.”
He points emphatically down the hallway he came from, trusting, if not his tone, then the two decades and a half they spent as accomplices of the same fiasco to convey the rest.
Plutarch looks at him with the bleary gaze of the insomniac through a crack in the doorway. After a long pause, he says, “Alright.”

Summary
Having exhausted all pretences of civil conversation, there was little Mido could do but to poke at the elephant in the room with them and the soon to be husk of a successful entrepreneur. "What am I doing here, Namikawa?"
"Paying your respects, I'd wager," his colleague replied.
"That would require some gratitude on my part," and I'm not sure if I can muster any, he was about to say, but a dissonant note from the life support machine gave him pause.
Namikawa's shoulders stiffened. He waited for the monotone beeping to resume before speaking. "Offering moral support, then. Whichever you prefer."
"You said you needed a witness."

Summary
Contrary to popular belief, the worst kind of person a killer for hire can encounter on the job is not a colleague. It's not an undercover cop, or a child waking up just in time to witness their parents' execution, with the split-second ethics-versus-convenience decision the scenario usually demands. It's not even a deceitful client withholding vital information on the target's background and combat proficiency.
It's a shit marksman.
