Joaquin hadn’t been placed in the same car. They’d correctly assumed that
we would have been able to communicate. Not that that really mattered
at this point. We had too much experience working together, and our
shit locked down too tight for this to be an issue.
“So,” the man who’d introduced himself as Agent Barton started, “you
don’t seem nervous at all. Why is that?”
He was every stereotype in the book. Sharp eyes and coffee breath.
Slight paunch and bad comb over. Agent Barton also had the stink of
ambition around him. I bet he defined himself by the cases he closed, and
his biggest failures were the cases he fumbled.
I could work with that.
One side of my mouth curled up into a slight smirk. I turned toward the
window to hide it as his gaze burned into the side of my head through the
rearview mirror.
What did he expect me to say? That I was a psychopath? I wasn’t. Just
the product of a fucked-up childhood.
“You’re familiar with my past, correct?” I turned back, the expression
wiped from my face. As much as this was bullshit, the last thing I needed
was for him to peg me as a cocky little asshole. That would only make this
farce ten times harder, and that wasn’t the type of pain I was into.
“I am, Mr. Wright. It’s hard not to be aware of the unfortunate start to
your childhood when two of your friends are constantly in the public eye.”
That wasn’t true. Atlas and Kim did the bare minimum required in the
spotlight. More like Agent Barton constantly saw them in ads and on
billboards.
“Then you’re aware that I was personally held by the Curator for years.
At least two as far as I can remember.” It wasn’t a question, but I still
paused.
“I am,” he agreed.
“That was a living nightmare. I’m sure you can appreciate that nothing
in my life after the day I was released has affected me as much as that. Any
fear you’re trying to lay at my feet, it won’t work. You or your false charges,
or even the veiled threats you’re trying to dance around, can’t scare me the
way Gates did when I was a child.” I clenched my jaw, my heart rate
accelerated, pumping anger through my veins.
I itched to dig my fingernails in my legs but I couldn’t. Not with them
handcuffed together. I could pull on them though. Let the metal bite just the
tiniest bit into my wrists.
“Lucky for you that the Curator is dead then, huh, Mr. Wright?” He
shifted in his seat. It wasn’t a movement of discomfort, but came through
more as a thinking tick. He was thinking about how to spin this
conversation to catch me up in a lie. “If the facts didn’t state he was
murdered when you were kids, you’d be at the top of our suspect list for that
too. Not that I’d blame you.” He shrugged. “The man was an evil the world
is better off without.”
