dropped tomorrow. The parties will be married as soon as the laws here can recognize it. I suggest you prepare to transfer them together as soon as it is convenient. I'll send the bill. I think you'll be pleased. You got them both back for far less than the lawyers would have. I'll present the charges when next we meet." "Thanks, uh... Cate. Do I even want to know what this was all about?" "One, two, five, and six of the seven deadlies, Sir." "I see you've been studying your Catholic history. Wrath, Avarice, Lust, and Envy. Did the good guys win?" "Yes we did, Sir." As we drive away, Marta informs me that she received an unexpected call earlier. "Oh? And you couldn't mention it earlier?" "I didn't want to distract from the fun. It was your husband. He asked if I was Cate Blanc's 'protector' and when I told him that I was, he said, 'You have a green light'." I smiled. "Did he really say 'protector'?" "No, he said 'guardian angel'. There's something I think you should know about that. I am not an angel. Beth does not hire angels for the black teams. Most of us, me included, are what we are because we have the ability, some would call it a curse, to act violently without remorse. We don't feel things the way normal people do." "So you're saying that you're a sociopath." "No. I'm saying I'm emotionally... different, like a sociopath, but not completely. I have some of the skills and traits of sociopaths but not all of them.

"For some people, the Bible is a code." "The Bible is nothing like a rules of engagement manual." I wait for her to say something more, but she doesn't. "And why are you mentioning this now?" "We use these codes to keep our actions in check because that's how we stay out of prison or keep our jobs or keep custody of our children." "Oh. I understand. Personal bodyguards have a code saying that you can't get involved with the one you are protecting. A green light from Dan isn't enough." "Yes." "What other green lights do you need?" "Employers. Bethany and Gabe already supplied those." "Gabe knows that I'm bisexual?" "Gabe is an astute man." "And who else must supply a green light?" "Well, you, obviously. You can become something more than a client, but my code says that you have to be informed of my..." She points to her head. "There is no conventional morality in here. I learned right and wrong the same as everyone else. And then something happened and... right and wrong come from a guidebook, now. There's no belief in Heaven or Hell. There is desire, fondness, affection, etc. I can fake most of what's missing, but I can do things that would convince most people that I am incapable of love. And I can do them to anyone if the operant code requires ...
