He didn't look too sure there for a second, and I wondered again just what the fuck had gone down between those two. From what I could remember, the two of them had been hot and heavy there for a while, which had been surprising considering the deal we'd made with each other as a team.
I guess it had been acceptable because Vanessa was one of us, maybe not the same branch, but we were fighting for the same cause. Unlike a civilian female, she would understand the rigors and the ins and outs of the life.
Then one day, it was like world war fucking four, and the only reason things hadn't escalated was because the shit went down while we were on a mission, and both of them had to be mindful of their rank and where the fuck they were. After that, nothing! I don't think he even mentioned her name after that last day. As much as I like Vanessa, if there were any other way to do this, I would've gone with it.
