You want a secret? Seriously? Pick one. Man, I’m a goddamn *spy.* There’s not much in my life that’s *not* a secret to someone or other. My wife knew I worked for the government, but she never knew the full extent of what I did. The early days, when I *used* to have friends outside work? They had no clue how I really spent my time between punching in and punching out.
My life is all about secrets…they’re what keeps my world turning.
Still, even from some of my own co-workers, people I call friends, I have a secret or two…like killing Allan Korman. Rachel’s the only one that knowsand those mad hacker skills would REALLY piss me off if she wasn’t so damn cute about it and that’s the way I intend to keep it. Not out of fear for the repercussions, not by a long shot. Since he died, I’ve really been able to sleep at night for the first time in years.
I like to think that I got a small measure of retribution for my wife…that wherever she is, she can rest a little easier.
That she knows what she meant to me…that I never meant for any of this to happen.
It’s a hell of a thing…when the dead are gone, there’s really nothing you can do to show them you still care. Unless, of course, they’ve been murdered…and if you’re in a position to do something about it? You have a rare chance to make things right.
And now…somewhere out there, I like to think she knows now…what I would have done to keep her safe if I could have. What I *will* do…because now that I’ve found someone again, as God as my witness, I’ll do a hell of a lot more than just kill to protect her.
