See, the Adness, really has no clue how James/Tet operates I suppose that’s why he instructed

I’hts when the plane touches down, bounces once, then again, and we roll the rest of the way towards the small airport surrounded by cornfields on three sides

When we come to a stop James stands up and stretches his ar his hands flat against the curved plastic "I’m starved too, McSmurf And I need coffee" He says that with a sht not like Tet all thatpeople like my dad was But when he smiles at me like that, I absolutely love hih the s me nervous She’s not asleep, but she thinks I a her

Jesus fucking Christ I have no idea what I’s they don’t think I know But I’m not even sure what to do with some of that infor I know she’s operating on someone’s orders I’m just not sure who’s orders they are The Admiral? She definitely was But now? Not sure Nick? Don’t know about that either

Merc? Now that’s the real ht now because he’s the first person we’re gonna see

And Nick I haven’t seen hi time, but Merc has He knows a lot about me Maybe more than he should Definitely more than he should

And so this is the test Who works for who is a question I’ve had no solid answer to for a very long time But pretty soon all the players will be present and I can sort it out

But pretty soon is not now, so I need to just let it go I’ forward on trust alone I have to trust her It’s my only option

I think about Harper instead and that makeson the floor in her old apart It had to have been no more than two, three seconds But it felt like eternity Slow es And I believe it I’ve felt that a lot over the years When reality is so in your face When death is right there--all you gotta do is reach out and he’ll pull you across that thin veil and make it all end, once and for all

I’ve been there so et

Honduras Twelve years ago James Fenici, barely Six, not yet Tet Already fucked up

Even nohen I closeso bad I couldn’t even loadmember down in the fucked up place they call San Pedro Sula, I h to ruin his eye, and give me a nice visual burned into ot a chance to fire a second shot and finish the job, because I was caught and the guy as forever called Mistake Number One in my head lived

But I’m sure he looked in the mirror every day and wished he hadn’t I’m sure he looked in theonly To h to be tortured by him personally after he recovered They burned h to break h that I had to stand on my tiptoes for hours… days, soerous now is because I never gave up then And I guess that’s true I don’t I figure fuck this goddaotta do is becoht in He’s got no probleonna kill sousta hanging around to get caught or having to go back and try it again Take it froht and I went back to finish the job of taking over the city they call Murder Capital of the World It was like co the worsthome

I think that’s when Tet really started to take an interest in my jobs I don’t consider Southern California home any of Honduras as home back then? That was a new level of fucked up, even for me

It took me years to understand that I was different When One ca His third na-card poison is aned a poison to use e need to kill people for personal reasons Mine’s the toxin found in the blue ring octopus Classic James Bond kinda shit

Tet the toxin is a blockbuster movie way to die, for sure

But Tet the dude? He’s definitely er kinda character

I don’t knohose idea it was to give us three names, but I took that shit seriously because when your job requires you to interact with sootta keep it in perspective

Tet

I can feel hiht now His version of winding down at the beach But that’s because I’m with the kid and I think Harper is safe for now
