âyouâre not going to rat on me!â and she means it, says it with her whole chest. her undoing was not douglas shepard and it was not any time soon. it was some truth that she knew within her, that there was nothing in this world that had yet to pose a threat to her. when that changed, she would feel it. âyou need me.â after all, heâd shown up here, full well knowing that she was a double-edged sword. âdonât worry hawkeye, weâll change it up.â she laughed at his discomfort. names, as if they meant anything. âiâll think about it while you sell me your job.â
