Chapter 18: I Still Hate You. I Still Don't Care.

In which Maura has had enough.

Maura could feel the headache from the drugs returning as she sat beside her “husband” at the tables in the casino. Other than ordering her the occasional drink, he ignored her for the rest of the evening. Though, she noticed his hand shot out to drag her back if she was more than arms-length away. Maura spent the time categorizing everything she'd learned that night. I can probably pull enough components from that ridiculously gigantic tv in the bedroom to access an Intelligence safeline- James would be clueless since he doesn’t seem to watch it.

Shifting in her seat, Maura absently took a swallow of the latest drink put in front of her.
