Claire suggested the little show. She wanted Lurkin to hear our argument. I couldn't fucking deny it-the idea was good. Now it all depended on whether Lurkin was ready to take his cleverly prepared act to the next level and actually offer me a job. A guy like Lurkin only cared about his reputation or saving his own skin, and as soon as Claire understood that her plan had failed, we could move on to do things my way.
Claire was determined and she kept me on my toes, but she was too distracting. Memories from the past carried way too many scars and emotional memories. People were making assumptions about me, thinking that working undercover for so long was my way of getting back what I'd lost.
