Special Agent Faith Bold stared out the window at the hazy gray sky
outside. The room was empty at the moment save for Faith, and the only
sound was the soft beeping of the EKG and the even softer drip of her IV.
Four weeks, five surgeries, and a dozen other minor procedures later, she
didn’t hurt anymore. She didn’t feel much of anything anymore. She wasn’t
sure if it was the morphine that trickled into her body at a rate of two point
five milligrams per hour that numbed her or if her general disillusionment
with life had robbed her of the ability to feel anything.
Ten years. Ten years with the FBI and each year worse than the last. When
she graduated from Quantico, she felt on top of the world. She imagined
herself at the head of a crack team of super agents, foiling terrorist plots and
catching murderers, fulfilling her dream of protecting the innocent from those
who would prey on them.
Ten years, and each year, her dreams were chipped away, along with
every other part of her, until there was nothing left but the mute, soulless
lump of ruined flesh that lay supine on the bed, wires and hoses sticking from
every exposed piece of skin.
The crack agents she thought she would work with turned out to be bitter,
disillusioned middle-aged men who couldn’t give two shits about the
innocents they were sworn to protect and treated her as the outsider because
she dared to believe in something bigger than herself.
The cases she was assigned didn’t involve terrorist cells threatening to
blow up cities. She didn’t work to stop human trafficking or stop crazed
serial killers. She spent half of her time investigating white-collar crimes that
she was pretty sure were handed to her to keep her out of the way. On the
rare occasions she was assigned to a “real” case, the other agents made it
clear that they didn’t give a rat’s ass about her opinion but wanted her out of
the way.
