Doakes was gone. The mask was firmly back in place. It was time to get back to my work. First I had to tie up loose ends. The one person alive that knew who I was. Though it was much more personal with this one. She tried killing two people very important to me. Two innocents. She went after my family and that was unforgivable. Of course her being in another country made my job a bit harder. Seemed I was going on a little trip.
Getting in was easy, too easy. She hadn't stuck around to know if her work had succeeded. She assumed that Cody, Astor, and I died in that fire. She was living safely. Her mistake. She was always going to die. Doakes was not a criminal, he was an innocent man. I may not have liked the man he was, but he didn't deserve to die that way. The look on her face when she saw me, when she felt the needle going into her. Helpless as the knife jammed into her chest.
When it was all done I went home. Home to Rita. Home to Astor and Cody. Home to Deb. They were my family and I would do anything to keep them safe. They can never know what I am. Never know what I do. I must keep my life and my work separate.
