Sid was always better off doing most things alone instead of with someone else or in a group. It wasn’t just because of his arrogance or anger which made it hard for him to get along with a lot of people, or that he did honestly think that he was more professional than a lot of people. On top of that, no matter how hard he tried, he would end up talking too much with other’s getting too close to them, just to have shit blow up in the end. And even if it was with someone and there wasn’t anything work related between them, his job still managed to sneak up and bite him in the ass.
For a long time after Marie had “died” he couldn’t get it out of his head. The Cabot job was nothing compared to what he let happened her, to someone he genuinely cared for, like she was his own daughter or little sister. She was all alone and he felt so much compassion for her. No one as young as she was deserved to be all alone, or to die in such a painful way. He should have known it wasn’t safe for a kid to go around doing big robbing jobs. And, should know it wasn’t safe for her to be on the run from the cops in a car with him. He was in shock when he saw her again, it had been years since they’d seen each other and he was surprised that she actually remembered him but yet happy that she did. He could have told himself that he wasn’t going to let her get involved in his work again, but it would have been a lie.
They had been on the road for a few days, only stopping to eat or sleep. He had to leave town because too many cops were after him and he’d be caught and locked up if he stayed. She came with him. Which was nice, because he did enjoy the company, but could end up horrible if the police caught up to them. He had a plan for that though.
Marie was a very easy person to talk too, and she didn't seem to get pissed off at most things Sid talked about or said. He tried to stay away from talking about anything too personal, or asking too many personal questions, but it was nice for them to be able to bond, something they weren't able to do very much at all, before.
He leaned forward to turn down the radio in the car. “Okay, I got a good one.” He glanced over at her, “What’s your biggest fear?”
