Mockingjay 2010-08-24T00:00:00Z “All right. Let me talk to Plutarch. You stay put.” Mockingjay 2010-08-24T00:00:00Z I want to scream, but it’s not information I’m sure I should share with someone like Plutarch looking on. Mockingjay 2010-08-24T00:00:00Z Plutarch seems to win—Finnick’s pale but nodding his head by the end of it.
