âTHATâS NOT HOW ANY OF THAT WORKS YOU USELESS LESBIAN!â her face hurt, but nothing hurt her quite as badly as the things riley said. her hands balled up into fists. âi have the job i do for a reason. has it occurred to you that maybe the imbecile act is just an act to hide my⊠my precocious espionage brilliance and the dexterity with which my mind works?â the thing was that finn wanted to follow the plan. rileyâs plans always seemed so clever and cool. but the plans were stupid and boring. âyouâve never given me a chance to do anything. you walked in with your stupid tech and your bitchy smarter than thou attitude. whatâs it gonna take, riley? hmm? do you need me to stalk off and say my handler in an insufferable prick and iâd rather be tortured than have to see her face again ever in my entire life? do i have to shoot you in the knee? what do i have to do to make you back the fuck off?â
that was rich coming from a woman who once hit on a lady at a drive-thru while on the clock. unsucessfully, to no oneâs surprise. exactly how finn got this job remains one of lifeâs biggest mysteries. and while those were some big words that riley never expected from finnâs vocabulary, she still didnât believe couldâve come this far without a horseshoe shoved so deep up her ass she could taste it. âmaybe if your idiot âactâ didnât make my life unnecessarily difficult, i might be inclined to have a little faith in you. but as it stands, iâve put in way too much time cleaning up messes i shouldnât have to be dealing with in the first place.â pain still radiated from where she was struck but riley pushed herself off the floor anyways, trying not to make it obvious she was favouring one leg over the other. âall you ever have are chances to do something. you do what you want regardless of what i say, why do you even have a handler, finn? go in blind next time, see if you make it out again. if you want my respect, you should stop and think things through instead of treating every sparse idea that pops up in that mind of yours as a stroke of genius.â
