She carried them everywhere she went, her invisible marks of folly, her downfalls, her sins. They were written beneath her strong, cool exterior tattooed upon her skin with unseen ink. They where intertwined latently in her intense eyes, always there, waiting to be discovered. She was broken. Flawed. It was only a matter of time before they found out, before Bosco saw through the lies. It was only a matter of time before the darkness ate at her so completely that there was no going back. And in the darkness so deep she cried for life and prayed for death.

This job isn't always black and white, I told him. Did he want to listen? No. He knew it was true. Nothing was simple, not in life and certainly not for us. Trust me, I said, I'm on your side. Did he believe me? No. Instead he got her involved and everything went to shit. The whole operation gone. I was pissed sure, but that wasn't the worst. It was the look of shear anger and hate he gave me when we talked. It was the loss I felt. The world isn't black and white Bosco, and neither am I.
