That plot better firm up a bit ... I feel the suspense is weakening for me simply because it's opaque at the moment.
I feel the same. The subplot is becoming less interesting to me because I don't know what the main point of it is. It seems to me that Weaver may have made a mistake in killing the nuclear reactor manager directly after Ellison tells her about him. Ellison spent a long time in the FBI and I would find it hard to believe if he doesn't at least wonder about that.
Pure wishful thinking follows - Since I love the Ellison character, what I'm hoping for is that Ellison now trusts no one, not even Weaver, so he's playing things very close to the chest (which is maybe why the subplot feels a bit vague?) I want the nuclear reactor manager to have been some sort of test that Ellison was giving Weaver, which she failed. That Ellison has become so changed and hardened by the massacre he witnessed, that he has lost all hope of salvation to the point where he is willing to use the manager as a pawn in the game.
